US President Donald said that US intervention helped avert a potential nuclear war between Pakistan and India, who agreed to a ceasefire after escalating tensions.
“We prevented a nuclear conflict. It could have been a devastating war with millions of casualties. I’m very proud of that,” Trump told reporters in Washington.
Praising the leadership of both nations, Trump described their resolve as “unshakable” in reaching the ceasefire.
Trump credited his administration for facilitating the recent ceasefire agreement between Pakistan and India.
Trump stated that while trade talks with India are currently underway, similar discussions will also take place with Pakistan.
He revealed that he had warned both nations that ongoing conflict would prevent any trade agreements from moving forward.
“I told them clearly — no trade deal if the war continues,” Trump said.
“US is ready to support both India and Pakistan in matters of trade,” he added.
