TRUMP

Donald Trump:  During his address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), US President Donald Trump once again claimed that he helped prevent the conflict between India and Pakistan. Trump included the Indo-Pak conflict among the seven global conflicts he took credit for ending in just seven months.

Trump said, "I've ended seven wars in just seven months. These include Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, Congo and Rwanda, Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Armenia and Azerbaijan."

Trump also raised questions on the UN

The US president also took a swipe at the United Nations, saying it was not performing up to its potential. Trump's speech was his first to the world body since returning to power. Trump further said that on the world stage, we are once again doing things that have earned us so much respect as never before. We are making peace agreements and ending wars. We have stopped wars between India and Pakistan, Thailand and Cambodia.   Trump also jokingly said that he should receive multiple Nobel Peace Prizes not only for his future ambitions but also for his past efforts. 

India Denies Any Third-Party Role

However, India has always maintained that there was no role for any third party in the ceasefire with Pakistan. Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Mishra stated that Pakistan's Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) called his Indian counterpart and both sides agreed to cease all military activities. He said that Pakistan's DGMO called his Indian counterpart and both sides agreed to cease all firing and military activities.

On May 10, Trump announced a "complete and immediate" ceasefire on social media, which he said was achieved after a "long night" of Washington-led negotiations. India flatly rejected this claim, saying it was merely a bilateral agreement.
