Donald Trump has once again asserted that he forced India and Pakistan to back down from conflict by threatening to impose 350% tariffs on both nations, unless they ceased hostilities. He claimed that both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Shehbaz Sharif called him, with Modi telling him, “we’re not going to go to war.” Trump said he used the threat as leverage to negotiate a “nice trade deal” if peace was restored. Meanwhile, India has consistently denied any third‑party mediation or role for the U.S. in ending the tensions. (PC: The Hindu)
