‘India, Pakistan were going to nuclear war in a week': Trump claims success in ‘settling' military conflicts
US President Donald Trump has once again said that he negotiated a peace deal between India and Pakistan that ended the military conflict following the Pahalgam attack.
His comments came during a meeting with Nato Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Monday. Trump said, 'We've been very successful in settling wars. You have India and Pakistan. You have Rwanda and the Congo, that was going on for 30 years. India, by the way, 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.'

The US president has time and again staked a claim in ending hostilities between India and Pakistan after the former's Operation Sindoor that was launched in response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack, which killed 26 people. While New Delhi has repeatedly denied such claims, Islamabad has thanked Trump for his mediation.
What has India said?
Earlier this month, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar denied US role in mediation between the two neighbouring countries.
In an interview with Newsweek, Jaishankar said, 'I can tell you that I was in the room when Vice President Vance spoke to Prime Minister Modi on the night of May 9, saying that the Pakistanis would launch a very massive assault on India…We did not accept certain things, and the Prime Minister was impervious to what the Pakistanis were threatening to do.'
'On the contrary, he (PM Modi) indicated that there would be a response from us,' he added.
The next communication with Washington occurred the following morning, when the Foreign Minister spoke with the US Secretary of State. During the conversation, Marco Rubio conveyed that 'the Pakistanis were ready to talk,' Jaishankar added.

Later that afternoon, Pakistan's Director General of Military Operations, Major General Kashif Abdullah, directly contacted his Indian counterpart, Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, to request a ceasefire.

Here are all the details you know about the recent statement from US President Donald Trump and how it will impact Indians. What has Donald Trump said on hiring Indians?

'Many of our largest tech companies have reaped the blessings of American freedom while building their factories in China, hiring workers in India, and slashing profits in Ireland. You know that. All the while dismissing and even censoring their fellow citizens right here at home,' Trump said ahead of unveiling his administration's 'AI Action Plan.' What Donald Trump said on AI infrastructure? Trump signed three new executive orders: expediting permitting for AI infrastructure, boosting exports of US-developed AI, and banning federal procurement of AI systems with political or ideological bias. During his remarks at the AI Summit, Trump urged US tech companies to be 'all in for America.' 'We want you to put America first. You have to do that. That's all we ask. That's all we ask to partner with our tech geniuses and achieving this vision. Today, we're releasing the White House AI action plan. Big stuff,' Trump said.

India-UK trade deal: Double contribution pact to smoothen ops for IT cos
So far, Indian professionals working for a limited period in UK contributed to the country's social security funds, but they would not get benefits as they would return once the project is completed Avik Das Bengaluru India and the UK have secured an agreement on the Double Contribution Convention alongside the free trade agreement, which many believe will help smooth the operations of Indian information technology (IT) services companies. 'It will exempt Indian workers and their employers from social security contributions in the UK for up to three years, significantly improving take-home pay and reducing costs for Indian companies,' the government said on Thursday. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said in a post: 'The three-year exemption from social security contributions in the UK as part of the Double Contribution Convention is a significant breakthrough for Indian workers and their employers'. The Indian IT services industry has a huge presence in the UK. The region is the second-largest in terms of revenue, along with Europe. Indian IT services players also send thousands of skilled Indian employees on projects to the UK. So far, Indian professionals working for a limited period in the UK contributed to the country's social security funds, but they would not get benefits as they would return once the project is completed. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India's largest IT services player, has roughly 24,000 employees in the UK. However, of these, how many are from India and on temporary work could not be ascertained. According to industry experts, about 11,000 Indian employees could be sent onsite.
