International News: At the United Nations General Assembly, US President Donald Trump said that if not for his intervention, India and Pakistan could have entered into a dangerous full-scale war. He called it one of his biggest diplomatic wins. Trump claimed that his action prevented a major conflict and saved thousands of lives. He added that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, even if he never gets it. His speech immediately caught the attention of global media and political leaders, sparking fresh debate.
India strongly rejected Trump’s statement. New Delhi clarified that its decision to end “Operation Sindoor” was made independently, based on its own strategy and Pakistan’s request. Indian officials said no third-party mediation or foreign pressure played any role in the decision. This firm stand added to tensions between India and the United States, as the Trump administration later imposed additional tariffs on Indian goods, creating friction in trade ties.
Pakistan, however, supported Trump’s claim. Its leaders praised him and said he helped prevent a major war. Some even went so far as to say Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Yet, Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar recently admitted in an interview that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed India does not support third-party mediation. This statement weakened Pakistan’s narrative and added more complexity to the debate.
The India-Pakistan conflict began in May after a terror attack in Kashmir. India responded with strong military action, and Pakistan retaliated, leading to rising tensions. The situation grew so serious that global observers feared the possibility of a nuclear clash. It was during this heated period that Trump claims his administration used trade pressure and diplomatic channels to push both countries back from escalation. This forms the core of his controversial statement.
In his speech, Trump said he had ended seven wars. Along with the India-Pakistan clash, he listed conflicts involving Israel-Iran, Egypt-Sudan, Rwanda-Congo, Armenia-Azerbaijan, and Cambodia-Thailand. However, his numbers have often changed — sometimes he claims six, sometimes eleven. Critics argue that Trump adjusts the count depending on his audience and political needs, raising questions about the accuracy of his claims.
Trump also used his UN speech to attack the United Nations itself. He said these were responsibilities the UN should have handled, but it failed to act. According to him, it was his government alone that stopped wars and prevented bloodshed. His remarks left the General Assembly unsettled-some delegates listened silently, while others supported his words. Once again, Trump became the central talking point of the UN session.
Experts believe Trump’s claims are tied to his election strategy, portraying himself as a global peacekeeper. His comments on India and Pakistan, however, could complicate relations between the two countries and the United States. India has always opposed third-party involvement in its disputes with Pakistan. Trump’s statement may therefore create uncomfortable situations for New Delhi. The coming days will show how India and the US navigate this diplomatic storm.
