On May 21, 2025, former U.S. President Donald Trump asserted that he played a key role in ending hostilities between India and Pakistan, suggesting trade negotiations facilitated the peace. Speaking at a campaign event, Trump claimed the tensions “stopped because of us,” attributing the breakthrough to his administration’s diplomatic and economic strategies. However, Indian officials have not corroborated this narrative, and experts question the extent of U.S. influence. This is not the first time Trump has made similar statements, raising eyebrows over the accuracy and timing of his claims amid ongoing political campaigns. (PC: AP)
