US President Donald Trump on Thursday once again claimed that he prevented a war between India and Pakistan last year, repeating the assertion twice in a single day during a public address and on social media.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast, Trump said he had ended multiple international conflicts over the past year. \u201cIn one year, I\u2019ve ended eight raging wars, such as Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Armenia and Azerbaijan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Later, in a post on Truth Social, the US President reiterated that he had stopped a potential nuclear conflict involving India and Pakistan. Highlighting US military strength, Trump wrote that he had rebuilt America\u2019s armed forces and added new capabilities, including the Space Force, and claimed credit for preventing nuclear wars between \u201cPakistan and India, Iran and Israel, and Russia and Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump has made similar claims more than 90 times since May 10 last year, when he announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a \u201cfull and immediate\u201d ceasefire after talks mediated by Washington.<\/p>\n
India, however, has consistently rejected the claim of any third-party mediation in its dealings with Pakistan, maintaining that all outstanding issues between the two countries are addressed bilaterally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
