Trump Claims He 'Stopped War' Between India and Pakistan, Declares 'Love' for Pakistan

In a bold and characteristic statement, former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed credit for halting a potential war between India and Pakistan. During a recent media interaction, Trump said he intervened to prevent escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbours, praising both Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir for cooperating in peace efforts.

"I love Pakistan. I think Modi is a fantastic man. I stopped a war between two major nuclear nations," Trump declared, adding that he had spoken to Modi the night before and discussed a trade deal.

Trump’s declaration has stirred diplomatic attention, particularly his affectionate reference to Pakistan, which may indicate his leaning or political interest in the region. While such remarks may be perceived as an attempt to strengthen ties with Pakistan ahead of possible re-election efforts, the lack of formal acknowledgment from either India or Pakistan on his specific role in de-escalation makes the claim controversial.

His statements, though consistent with his flamboyant political persona, have sparked debate about whether he played a genuine behind-the-scenes role or is using geopolitical tensions to boost his global image. Trump’s comments could influence future Indo-Pak relations and his standing in the South Asian diaspora ahead of upcoming elections.
