News Topical, Digital Desk : During a meeting of the Board of Peace, US President Trump once again claimed credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif acknowledged this to appease Trump. However, India has repeatedly denied any involvement of Trump in the ceasefire.
In fact, US President Donald Trump repeatedly claims that he orchestrated the India-Pakistan ceasefire. Once again, Trump appeared to take credit for de-escalating military tensions between India and Pakistan. Trump claimed that he mediated between the two countries and threatened to impose tariffs if the fighting did not stop.
Trump put Shahbaz on the spot
Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif attended the first meeting of the Board of Peace in Washington. Trump told Sharif, "Pakistan and India, this was a big deal. I think you (Sharif) should stand up. Come on, please stand up. Pakistan and India, thank you very much."
During this, Trump said that Sharif had claimed that Trump saved 25 million lives by brokering a ceasefire between the two countries. Trump claimed that he used tariff policy as pressure to reach an agreement between India and Pakistan.
"I called them both. I know Prime Minister Narendra Modi very well. I told him, 'If you guys don't resolve this issue, I won't do a trade deal with either of you,' and then suddenly we reached an agreement," Trump claimed.
The situation was extremely tense
Meanwhile, Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif thanked US President Donald Trump for the ceasefire in the Indo-Pak conflict. Sharif said that the situation had become extremely sensitive during Operation Sindoor, and tensions between the two sides were rapidly escalating.
India rejected Trump's claim
It is worth noting that India has consistently rejected any claims of third-party mediation regarding the ceasefire following the military clash in May last year. India has repeatedly maintained that the agreement to cease hostilities with Pakistan was reached after direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two armies.
