Trump again claims he ended India-Pak conflict
India and Pakistan would have been a nuclear war within another week, the way that was going. That was going very badly, and we did that through trade.
'I said, 'we're not going to talk to you about trade unless you get this thing settled,' and they did, and they were both great, great leaders, and they were great.'
Trump has made this claim several times before. However, the peace move began when Pakistan's DGMO contacted his Indian counterpart and requested a halt to all military actions -- on land, in the air, and at sea.
The situation had worsened after a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district on April 22. The attack in Pahalgam, carried out by Pakistan-backed terrorists, killed 26 people.
The incident happened during the visit of US Vice President JD Vance to India. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7. The Indian Air Force carried out targeted strikes on nine major terror hubs inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Pakistan tried to retaliate with drones and missile attacks on Indian cities, but all were intercepted by India's air defence systems. There was no damage or loss of life. As a strong warning, the Indian Air Force later struck 11 Pakistani airbases, including key ones like Nur Khan and Rahim Yar Khan.

Parliament Session Live: Rahul Gandhi slams govt over not giving free hand to forces during Op Sindoor
Rahul Gandhi- File image Parliament Session Live: In a significant development amid the ongoing Monsoon session of Parliament, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi accused the government of lacking the political will to support the Indian armed forces and claimed it revealed sensitive details about Operation Sindoor to Pakistan. Speaking in Lok Sabha, the Congress leaders sharply criticised the government's military response to the attack, raising questions about Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's statements on the floor of the House. Parliament Session Live: Rahul Gandhi slams government | Highlights 'Rajnath Singh said Operation Sindoor began at 1:05 AM and that by 1:35 AM, India had already called Pakistan to inform them that we had hit non-military targets and that we did not want escalation,' Gandhi said. 'These are not my words. These are the words of India's defence minister,' he said. Gandhi also accused the government of undermining the morale and effectiveness of the armed forces by imposing limitations. 'If you want to use the Indian armed forces, you must have 100 per cent political will. You must give them full freedom of operation,' he asserted. The Congress leader claimed that the Indian Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) was instructed by the government to seek a ceasefire just 30 minutes after the launch of the operation. 'At 1:35 in the night, you told Pakistan exactly what you were going to do – that we will not hit military targets, that we don't want escalation,' Gandhi said. 'You directly told Pakistan your political will, that you do not want to fight,' he alleged. 'You attacked Pakistan and simultaneously told them we are not going to hit your army or air defence systems. That is not freedom of manoeuvre; that is surrender.' (With inputs from agencies)
