US President Donald Trump claims he stopped India-Pakistan tensions by threatening 350% tariffs, alleging PM Modi called saying they wouldn't go to war. Trump has repeated this claim over 60 times since May, despite India consistently denying third-party intervention. Speaking at the US-Saudi Investment Forum, Trump stated he threatened both nuclear-armed nations with tariffs to prevent conflict, claiming Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif also thanked him for saving millions of lives. India maintains the ceasefire understanding reached May 10 followed direct DGMO talks after Operation Sindoor targeted terror infrastructure following the Pahalgam attack killing 26 civilians. Trump asserts he used tariffs to settle five of eight wars, claiming no other president would have done this. (PC: NDTV)
