Trump Claims Tariff Threat Helped End India-Pakistan Hostilities; India Disputes Claims
US President Donald Trump claimed at a Florida rally that he prevented a military conflict between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan by threatening to impose 250 per cent trade tariffs on both countries. He asserted that this ultimatum led to a ceasefire, despite India disputing claims of aircraft losses and rejecting external mediation. Trump also expressed frustration over not receiving international recognition for his diplomatic efforts. India maintains the ceasefire was agreed after Pakistan's military leadership requested a halt following India's Operation Sindoor strikes.
