US President Donald Trump warned his envoy to India, "You better represent us, not them," while claiming credit for stopping eight wars in eight months using tariffs as leverage. Trump asserted he brokered India-Pakistan peace by threatening 200% tariffs unless hostilities ceased after seven aircraft were shot down. He claimed he spoke with PM Modi and Pakistan's Shehbaz Sharif, receiving a de-escalation call the next day. Trump defended himself as deserving the Nobel Peace Prize for "saving hundreds and millions of lives," calling tariffs his tool for stopping wars and making America a "kind nation." Sharif praised Trump's role, though India maintains peace came through direct DGMO-level military talks between the two nations. (PC: X)
