After Alaska summit with Putin, Trump again claims he prevented India-Pakistan 'nuclear' war
Trump has once again claimed credit for preventing wars worldwide, including between India and Pakistan, after talks with Putin at Alaska summit. US President Donald Trump gestures as he walks off stage following a press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Reuters US President Donald Trump on Monday reiterated his claims of preventing wars across the globe, including between India and Pakistan, after his Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He defended his administration's push for ceasefires in conflicts that, as Fox News host Sean Hannity noted, 'do not impact the United States as much as [they do] allies in Europe.' Trump's remarks came just hours after his much-anticipated meeting with Putin ended without any breakthrough on halting Moscow's war in Ukraine. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In an interview on Hannity, the Fox News primetime show, Trump was asked why he was devoting time and energy to disputes far from US shores. Sean Hannity pressed him, 'This (Ukraine war) does not impact United States as much as it does our allies in Europe. But you are doing it anyway. Why?' Trump replied that his efforts were aimed at saving lives and preventing catastrophic escalation. 'Number one, to save lives in all cases. Cause wars are wars. See what would have happened with Cambodia as an example. I was involved with negotiating a trade,' Trump said. He then claimed that a ceasefire between India and Pakistan would not have been possible without his involvement, a claim New Delhi has consistently denied. 'Take a look at India and Pakistan. They were shooting down airplanes already. And that would have been maybe nuclear. I would have said it was gonna get nuclear, but I was able to get it done. Number one is lives, number two is everything else,' Trump added. Trump has often said that without his intervention, 'six major wars' would have erupted worldwide. 'India would be fighting with Pakistan. You see what we did yesterday with two nations that we were trading with,' he said, referring to the recent ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia after five days of border clashes that left at least 33 people dead. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD According to Trump, Washington pressured the two Southeast Asian nations by threatening to withhold trade deals unless they agreed to stop fighting. 'We got them settled in 24 hours,' he said. India rejects Trump's claims Trump's comments once again clash with New Delhi's repeated denials. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar told Parliament that the understanding with Pakistan was reached directly through talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs), without any US involvement.

With No Deal With Putin, Will US Tariff China's Oil Trade? What Trump Said
Washington: US President Donald Trump seems to have softened his stance on Moscow's oil trade after meeting Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. When asked about retaliatory tariffs on countries such as China and India for buying Russian oil, the American leader said he has no immediate plans to consider that, but might do it "in two or three weeks." Trump was asked by Fox News' Sean Hannity if he was now considering punitive actions against Beijing after talks with Putin failed to produce an agreement to resolve or pause Moscow's war in Ukraine. "Well, because of what happened today, I think I don't have to think about I may have to think about it in two weeks or three weeks or something, but we don't have to think about that right now. I think, you know, the meeting went very well," Trump said after his summit with Putin in Alaska. Before he met with Putin, Trump had claimed Russia lost India as one of its oil clients after Washington announced a penalty on New Delhi over the purchases, which pushed the Russian leader to the negotiation table. America has threatened sanctions on Moscow and secondary sanctions on countries that buy its oil if no moves are made to end the war in Ukraine. China and India are Russia's top two oil buyers. The US has already imposed an additional 25 per cent tariff on imports of Indian goods last week, citing its continued imports of Russian oil. However, no similar action has been taken against China so far. Beijing's slowing economy is likely to suffer a blow if Trump follows through on a promise to ramp up Russia-related sanctions and tariffs. Chinese President Xi Jinping is working with Trump on a trade deal that could lower tensions - and import taxes - between the world's two biggest economies. But China could be the biggest remaining target, outside of Russia, if Trump ramps up punitive measures.

Trump Gives Wife Melania's Letter On 'Abducted Ukrainian Children' To Putin
US President Donald Trump's wife, Melania Trump, raised the plight of children in Ukraine and Russia in a personal letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, two White House officials said on Friday. President Trump hand-delivered the letter to Putin during their summit talks in Alaska, the officials told Reuters. Slovenian-born Melania Trump was not on the trip to Alaska. The officials would not divulge the contents of the letter other than to say it mentioned the abductions of children resulting from the war in Ukraine. The existence of the letter was not previously reported. Russia's seizure of Ukrainian children has been a deeply sensitive one for Ukraine. Ukraine has called the abductions of tens of thousands of its children taken to Russia or Russian-occupied territory without the consent of family or guardians a war crime that meets the UN treaty definition of genocide. Previously Moscow has said it has been protecting vulnerable children from a war zone. The United Nations Human Rights Office has said Russia has inflicted suffering on millions of Ukrainian children and violated their rights since its full scale invasion of Ukraine begun in 2022. Trump and Putin met for nearly three hours at a US military base in Anchorage without reaching a ceasefire deal in the war in Ukraine.
