US President Donald Trump has again claimed credit for halting conflict between India and Pakistan by using trade as leverage. Speaking at the White House, he said his intervention helped avoid a potential nuclear disaster. India, however, dismissed the assertion, stating the ceasefire followed direct talks between the military commanders of both nations after India’s Operation Sindoor. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar credited Indian forces for compelling Pakistan to agree to peace, reaffirming that trade or tariffs were not discussed with the US.
