India-Pakistan War: US President Donald Trump has once again claimed that he prevented a military conflict between India and Pakistan. Trump said that he personally intervened with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Pakistani leadership and convinced the two countries to agree to a ceasefire by threatening trade deals and tariffs. This is not the first time Trump has made such a claim; he has repeated this over 30 times so far.Trump said in his statement, "...I spoke to the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, who is a wonderful person. I asked what is going on between you and Pakistan. Then I talked to Pakistan about trade. I asked what is going on between you and India? The hatred was tremendous. It has been going on for a long time, like for hundreds of years under different names... I said, I don't want to make any trade deal with you... You guys will get embroiled in a nuclear war... I said, call me again tomorrow, but we will not make any deal with you, we will put so many tariffs on you that your head will spin... Within about 5 hours, it was done... Now maybe it will start again. I don't know. I don't think so, but if it does, I will stop it."India's clear standRejecting these claims of Trump, India has always clarified that India had only postponed Operation Sindoor after direct talks between the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) of the armies of the two countries. India says that this decision was the result of bilateral talks between the two countries and not the intervention of any third party.Trump's statement and PM Modi's visit to ChinaTrump's statement comes at a time when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is soon going to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin, China. About 20 world leaders will attend this conference, and this international platform can affect global equations. Trump has recently decided to increase the tariff rate on India by 50 percent, which some analysts are seeing as a strategy that will affect India-China relations and regional stability.
