Trump Again Claims He Prevented ‘India–Pakistan War’, India Reiterates: No Third-Party Mediation
Washington — US President Donald Trump has once again doubled down on his claim that he personally stopped a war between India and Pakistan — a statement India has repeatedly denied.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Trump claimed that he had helped end six wars over the past few months, including what he described as the “India-Pakistan” conflict.
“I thought the Russia-Ukraine war would be the easiest one to end,” he said. “We’ve been talking about it for a long time — like we were talking about others… India-Pakistan.”
Earlier in the day, he posted on Truth Social claiming, “I’ve settled 6 wars in 6 months, one of them a possible nuclear disaster.”
Trump first made this claim on May 10, when he posted on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire following a “long night” of negotiations mediated by Washington. Since then, he has repeated the claim more than 40 times.
India, however, has consistently rejected the assertion. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stated in Parliament that no outside country asked India to halt Operation Sindoor, which was launched in response to terror attacks. Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar has categorically stated that no third-party was involved and that the ceasefire understanding was reached directly between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both countries.
Despite the repeated clarifications from New Delhi, Trump again mentioned India and Pakistan on Friday — the same day he met Russian President Vladimir Putin — repeating the claim multiple times in connection with his broader push to end the war in Ukraine.
