Trump's Bold Claim: Trade a Key to India-Pakistan Peace
US President Donald Trump claimed trade negotiations averted nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan. Despite Trump's assertion of brokering peace, India refuted US mediation, emphasizing bilateral resolution for Kashmir. The ceasefire followed India's Operation Sindoor after the Pahalgam attack. Trade talks reportedly did not influence the ceasefire agreement.

In a contentious statement on Friday, US President Donald Trump declared his administration's role in preventing potential nuclear war between India and Pakistan, attributing the peaceful outcome to strategic trade negotiations.
Trump, during an interaction with reporters, expressed pride in securing peace through trade instead of military means. The ceasefire followed a dangerous escalation post-Pahalgam Terror Attack and India's retaliatory Operation Sindoor.
India and Pakistan agreed on a ceasefire on May 10. Despite Trump's claims, India maintained its firm stance on resolving Kashmir matters bilaterally, dismissing any external interference, including US mediation. The Ministry of External Affairs reiterated that trade was not a topic in discussions with US leaders during the period leading to the ceasefire.
