US President Donald Trump reiterated at the United Nations General Assembly that his administration helped halt the 2025 India-Pakistan confrontation surrounding India’s Operation Sindoor. Trump claimed that US diplomatic intervention prevented a conflict and said it “saved 30 million lives.” He presented the intervention as part of his foreign-policy record and a broader effort to prevent wars through diplomacy and pressure. The remarks repeated his earlier assertions that Washington played a decisive role in de-escalating tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours. Trump’s comments were made while highlighting what he described as his administration’s peacekeeping achievements. The claim remains Trump’s own assertion about the potential human cost and US role in the confrontation.
