On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump asserted once more that he had put an end to the May crisis between India and Pakistan. During his economic speech in Pennsylvania, Trump said that during his ten months in office, he had prevented eight wars.
"I put a stop to eight conflicts in ten months, including those in India, Pakistan, and Kosovo-Serbia. They were fighting. Egypt and Ethiopia, Israel and Iran.
Azerbaijan and Armenia. I regret to inform you that Thailand and Cambodia began operations today. I have to make a phone call tomorrow.
I'm going to make a phone call to put an end to the conflict between Cambodia and Thailand, two extremely powerful nations. They're fighting once more. However, I'll do it. Thus, we're using our strength to make peace," he stated.
Trump reaffirmed earlier on November 19 that he ended eight wars while in office, including those involving Pakistan and India.
The statements occurred during a bilateral discussion in the Oval Office with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Crown Prince Mohammed was visiting Washington for the first time since Khashoggi's murder in 2018.
"With this office, we've accomplished a great deal. I've put an end to eight wars. In fact, I've put an end to eight wars. To go with Putin, I have another one. Putin has me a little taken aback. It has taken longer than I anticipated.
However, we prevented Pakistan and India. I could review the list. I'm really pleased. One was about ready to restart when I halted it.
Therefore, whether they arrived in person or over the phone, everything happened right here in the Oval Office. At the Oval Office, Trump told reporters, "Many of these leaders have come in and signed their peace deals."
India has refuted Trump's repeated claims that he "settled" the conflict within 24 hours by using trade sanctions to prevent a possible full-scale war between Pakistan and India.
In response to the Pahalgam terror incident in Jammu and Kashmir that claimed 26 civilian lives, India launched Operation Sindoor, which resulted in precision strikes on Pakistani terror facilities in May of this year. The US President was alluding to the border confrontations that followed.
