US President Donald Trump again changed his claim about India-Pakistan conflict resolution, now stating "eight planes were shot down" during India's Operation Sindoor. Speaking at Miami's America Business Forum Wednesday, Trump credited trade deals and tariff threats for ending global conflicts. He claimed he was negotiating trade deals with New Delhi and Islamabad when learning they were "going to war," threatening to cancel deals unless peace prevailed. Trump's figures have consistently evolved: initially claiming three jets shot down, then five in July, seven in August, and now eight. He asserted countries called seeking peace after his threats. However, India rejected Trump's mediation claims, stating de-escalation resulted from direct India-Pakistan diplomacy without third-party involvement.
