Trump's Bold Claims: Stopping Conflicts and Making Peace

US President Donald Trump claimed to have halted eight wars during his tenure, including the India-Pakistan conflict. He emphasized his efforts in fostering peace through strength, recounting talks with global leaders. Trump's claims, especially concerning India and Pakistan, have been met with skepticism by the involved nations.

In a bold assertion, US President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday that he halted eight international conflicts within just 10 months of his presidency, including a reported clash between India and Pakistan in May. Speaking in Pennsylvania, Trump highlighted his peace-making achievements, emphasizing the impact of his economic policies.

During a meeting with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the Oval Office, Trump reiterated his claims, stating he curtailed potential warfare between several countries. The list included heated tensions like Kosovo-Serbia, India-Pakistan, and Armenia-Azerbaijan, attributing his success to 'peace through strength.'

Trump credited his intervention, often conducted via phone, for resolving the India-Pakistan standoff that arose from India's May precision strikes on Pakistani terror camps—a claim India disputes. Nonetheless, the President maintained he used strategic trade measures to achieve a rapid conflict resolution, showcasing his role on the global stage.
