US President Donald Trump has once again taken credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire and made a big statement about the trade agreement. He said that if there is a war between India and Pakistan again, then America will not make any agreement.
US President Donald Trump said that America is going to make a trade agreement with India and Pakistan. I am proud of this. We were successful in preventing the possibility of nuclear war through trade instead of bullets. There has been a history of war between the two countries. Every time they both have agreed to make a compromise after bullets. But we made a compromise through trade. That is why I am very proud of this. No one talks about it. But a very dangerous conflict was going on between Pakistan and India. It was getting very bad. Both of them are nuclear powers. Now the situation is fine.
Trump said at Joint Base Andrews after flying from Air Force One that representatives of Pakistan are coming next week. We are very close to agreeing with India as well. If they are going to war with each other, I will not be interested in making a deal with anyone. I will not do it and I will tell them.
India rejects Trump's claim.
Amidst Trump's continuous rhetoric, India has clarified its foreign policy. Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar himself said on May 22 in a blunt tone that no third country had a role in reaching a consensus with Pakistan to end the military conflict during Operation Sindoor. The consensus between the two countries was reached after direct talks. He said this on the claim of US President Donald Trump that America had played a role in reaching a consensus between the two countries.
Trump claimed ceasefire 10 times in 21 days.
Despite a blunt denial from India, he has given such statements about 10 times in the last 21 days from May 10 till now, in which Trump has said that America stopped the war between the two countries. In a press conference on Friday after Elon Musk's separation from the US administration, Trump said that we stopped India and Pakistan from fighting. I believe this could have turned into a nuclear disaster. I want to thank the leaders of India and Pakistan as well as our people.
America does not do business with those who are shooting at each other...
According to Donald Trump, we talk about trade... we say that we cannot do business with those who are shooting at each other and are on the verge of using nuclear weapons. Without naming any leader of India and Pakistan, Trump said, 'They are great leaders of those countries, they understood the circumstances and after both agreed, all this stopped. We are stopping others from fighting.' Let us tell you that even before this, Trump had said on May 21 that he stopped the India-Pakistan conflict from becoming more serious by referring to his intervention and trade aspect.
