Trump Claims Tariff Threat Ended India-Pakistan Hostilities; India Disputes Claims
US President Donald Trump claimed he ended hostilities between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan by threatening 250% trade tariffs on both countries, asserting this forced a ceasefire after 11 planes were shot down. Trump expressed disappointment over not receiving international recognition for his diplomatic efforts. India has disputed Trump's claims about aircraft losses and external mediation, stating the ceasefire during Operation Sindoor resulted from direct military communication between India and Pakistan following India's targeted strikes against terror infrastructure in response to a terrorist attack.
