Trump claims that he urged both nations to turn their attention from conflict to trade. “Instead of fighting, let’s trade,” he said.
In an attempt to defuse a heated standoff between the two nuclear-armed nations, US President Donald Trump asserted on Thursday that he directly mediated a truce between India and Pakistan. It was getting more and more hostile, he said, and “you’ll start seeing missiles of a different type.”
“I don’t want to say I did it, but I sure as hell helped settle the problem between Pakistan and India last week,” Trump remarked while speaking to troops at Qatar’s Al-Udeid Air Base. He implied that his timely action played a crucial role in defusing the situation.
We managed to resolve the situation, he added. “It was becoming increasingly hostile, and all of a sudden, you’ll start seeing missiles of a different type.” Although I believe it is settled, I hope I don’t leave and discover two days later that it isn’t.
Trump claims that he urged both nations to turn their attention from conflict to trade. “Let us engage in trade rather than conflict,” he said, adding that both India and Pakistan embraced this strategy.
Trump added his signature theatrical flair as he reflected on the long-standing tensions between the two countries, saying, “In all fairness, they have been fighting for about 1,000 years.” “You know, I could settle that up,” I remarked. That one is difficult.
Trump’s remarks cast him as a peacemaker working behind the scenes during a possible crisis, even though no official diplomatic deal was declared.
