Trump's Bold Claims: Peacemaker or Provocateur?

US President Donald Trump claims to have resolved conflicts between India and Pakistan, along with other war-torn regions. Boasting about his diplomatic interventions, he also highlighted strict immigration policies targeting specific countries, promoting his narrative of 'peace through strength' at a Pennsylvania rally.

US President Donald Trump has reiterated his assertion that he ended the conflict between India and Pakistan, amid his claims of resolving various international disputes. Speaking to supporters in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, Trump repeated the claim almost 70 times, crediting himself with halting tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors.

Trump's address also covered immigration policies, where he declared a 'permanent pause' on migration from certain countries. He emphasized his administration's intent to prioritize American jobs and wages over benefits to illegal immigrants, further intensifying his stance following the killing of a National Guard member by an Afghan national.

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services has issued new guidelines considering 'negative, country-specific factors' when assessing immigration from 19 high-risk countries. The measures reflect Trump's broader proclamation aimed at restricting entry from nations perceived as potential security threats.
