On May 17, 2025, former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he prevented a nuclear war between India and Pakistan. In an interview with Fox News, Trump said tensions had escalated dangerously after the Pahalgam terror attack and India’s Operation Sindoor. He asserted that his timely diplomatic engagement helped de-escalate the crisis. Trump emphasized, “I stopped that war… very close [to nuclear war].” He also highlighted India's readiness to ease tariffs on U.S. goods following the talks. Indian authorities have not officially confirmed Trump’s role in the de-escalation. His remarks have sparked renewed global debate. (PC: Potus)
