U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated claims during a White House meeting that he personally intervened to avert a potential nuclear clash between India and Pakistan earlier this year, by warning both countries of “tariffs so high, your head’s going to spin” if hostilities persisted. He recounted pressing Prime Minister Modi and Pakistani leaders, asserting that the threat prompted a rapid ceasefire within hours. India, however, dismissed the claim, stating the de-escalation was achieved through direct military diplomatic channels. The assertion comes amid escalating U.S.–India tensions marked by fresh tariff escalations and strained diplomatic ties. (PC: NDTV)
