U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that the war between Pakistan and India was halted due to American intervention; otherwise, destruction in this conflict was inevitable.
According to news agencies, while speaking to journalists in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump once again highlighted the role of his administration in reducing tensions between Pakistan and India, stating that if the U.S. had not intervened, the conflict could have turned into a devastating nuclear war.
He said, “We brought both countries back from the brink of war. In such a situation, any kind of trade is not possible where the parties are at war with each other. However, the leaders of Pakistan and India took steps toward a ceasefire, for which I am thankful to them.”
President Trump stated, “We can fight better than any nation; we have the most powerful military in the world, but our goal is not conflict — it is the establishment of peace.”
In his statement, Trump emphasized that the tensions in South Asia were not just regional but could have threatened global peace, and that the U.S. intervened to bring both countries to the negotiating table.
Trump said that the people of Pakistan and its leadership are great, and he also described Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a personal friend. He added, “I spoke directly to both parties and made them realize where this situation could lead the world.”
On this occasion, he also expressed hope for an end to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, saying that a possible ceasefire agreement could soon be reached. Along with this, he described the ongoing negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear program as positive and said that the U.S. is close to an agreement.
Trump also shed light on the U.S.-China trade disputes, stating that during his meeting with the Chinese President, there would be discussions on tariffs and trade, and he hopes that both countries will resolve their economic issues.
Additionally, the U.S. President made it clear that there is currently no plan to expel foreign students from the country. Despite the ongoing legal dispute with Harvard University, he wants international youth to continue receiving education in the U.S.
It is worth noting that this statement came at a time when a senior Indian government official, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, had completely rejected the U.S. role, stating that the ceasefire between Delhi and Islamabad occurred without any external pressure.
