White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reiterated President Trump’s assertion that he “ended wars,” citing his role in the India–Pakistan ceasefire, along with involvement in Russia–Ukraine, Iran’s nuclear sites and Israel–Gaza. Trump claimed U.S. diplomacy backed by trade leverage, brokered the India–Pakistan truce. He also highlighted that “four or five jets were shot down” during the May conflict. India firmly denied U.S. mediation, stating its military commanders, not Washington, negotiated the ceasefire directly with Pakistan. Pressed on this, PM Modi emphasized that the ceasefire was achieved bilaterally through military channels, rejecting foreign intervention. The administration continues to present Trump’s aggressive diplomacy as under‑celebrated global achievements.
