Trump's new claim on India-Pakistan war
International News:US President Donald Trump said that during Operation Sindoor, he himself had pressured Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reduce tensions with Pakistan. He claimed that if the tension did not reduce, the US would impose heavy tariffs. According to Trump, this pressure was exerted 5 hours before the ceasefire.
The Indian government completely rejected it. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar told the Parliament that there was no phone call between Modi and Trump between April 22 and June 17. India says that the decision to cease fire with Pakistan was taken through direct talks between the DGMOs of the armies of both countries.
Trump told reporters, "I was talking to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I asked what was going on with Pakistan. There was a lot of hatred, and it had been going on for a long time. I warned that if the situation worsened, trade agreements would be stopped and very high tariffs would be imposed." He claimed that his warning had an effect and action was taken within about 5 hours. Trump said there was still a risk of further tensions, but he claimed to prevent it.
India's stance
India has been constantly saying that the ceasefire did not happen through the mediation of any third country. The armies of India and Pakistan themselves took this decision after talks. Now the controversy has increased between Trump's claim and India's response.
Trump wrote on social media on May 10 that India and Pakistan agreed on a complete and immediate ceasefire through his mediation. Even after this, he presented it as his credit many times. India kept clarifying that America had no role in this.
The contradiction between Trump's claim and India's denial is clear. This claim has created a discussion in India-US relations and raised questions about whether Trump is speaking the truth or is only making political statements.
