US – (Special Correspondent / Web Desk) – United States President Donald Trump has again taken credit for stopping a fight between India and Pakistan. He stated that his warning of very high taxes on their goods was key to making a peace deal happen.
Speaking at a White House meeting, the President repeated that his actions directly ended the conflict. “India and Pakistan were going to end up in a nuclear war if I didn’t stop them,” he claimed.
He described seeing reports of seven jet planes being shot down. He mentioned the high cost of the aircraft and suggested the real number of losses was even higher.
President Trump recalled calling both nations during the conflict to ask what was happening. He noted the long history of “tremendous hatred” between them, going back hundreds of years.
The President explained his unusual strategy. He told one of the countries he would cancel a trade agreement if they continued toward a nuclear war. This threat, he said, was the pivotal moment.

“I said, ‘Call me back tomorrow, but we’re not going to do any deals with you,’” Trump shared. He promised to place spinningly high taxes on them instead. He claims the conflict ended just five hours later.
While he hopes the peace holds, Trump vowed to step in again if needed. “We can’t let these things happen,” he stated firmly.
This is not the first time President Trump has made this claim. He often uses the threat of high taxes, recently raising them on India to 50% for buying Russian oil.
However, India firmly denies that US trade threats forced a ceasefire. Indian officials have grown frustrated with what they see as unwanted US involvement in their affairs with Pakistan.
In contrast, Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, thanked Trump for his “leadership and proactive role” in helping the two countries find peace.
