US President Donald Trump, speaking at the America Business Forum in Miami, repeated his claim of having brokered peace between India and Pakistan in May by threatening to cancel trade deals with both nuclear-armed nations.
- Trump’s Claim: He stated that the two nations “made peace” only after he intervened, and he revised his count of fighter jets downed during the combat from seven to eight. He presented the episode as one of eight global conflicts he has stopped.
- India’s Stance: India has denied the US President’s claim, maintaining that a ceasefire was achieved on May 10 after Pakistani commanders requested it to stop the Indian offensive (Operation Sindoor), which followed a terror attack in J&K’s Pahalgam.
- Context: This claim has reportedly been reiterated by President Trump at least 60 times, while India has consistently denied any US mediation.
