News Topical, Digital Desk : US President Donald Trump has once again tried to take credit for the ceasefire during the India-Pakistan tension. He has told a fabricated story to his own cabinet about his role in the India-Pakistan conflict. This time he said that he prevented a possible nuclear war between India and Pakistan.
During a cabinet meeting at the White House, Trump said he spoke to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Pakistani leaders and warned both of them of heavy trade tariffs. Trump claimed that his toughness forced both countries to back down.
Trump is embarrassing himself by making false claims
Trump said, "I spoke to PM Modi, who is a wonderful person. I asked, 'What is the issue with Pakistan?' Then I also spoke to Pakistan. This conflict has been going on for years, in fact for centuries."
Although Trump has been saying many times that India and Pakistan have been surrounded by mutual disputes for hundreds of years, it is worth noting that it has not even been 80 years since both the countries got independence. Before independence, Pakistan was a part of India.
'I will impose such high tariffs that your head will spin...'
Trump claimed that he clearly told Pakistan that if tensions did not reduce, then America would not do any trade deal. He said, “I said, if you guys go towards nuclear war, then we will impose such heavy tariffs on you that your head will spin.”
According to Trump, his warning had an effect and the issue was resolved within five hours. However, he also said that if the tension escalates again in the future, he will stop it again.
This statement of Trump is a part of his claim in which he describes his diplomacy as a means to solve complex issues like India-Pakistan. But there has been no official statement from both the countries on this claim, due to which questions are being raised on its veracity.
