On May 15, 2025, during a speech at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he helped ease tensions between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack. Trump said, "I don't want to say I did, but I sure as hell helped settle the problem." He cited trade talks as key to de-escalation. However, Indian officials stated the ceasefire announced on May 10 resulted from direct India-Pakistan negotiations without third-party involvement. Trump’s repeated claims face skepticism from Indian authorities. (PC: AP)
