‘India-Pakistan will not talk if …’, now what did Trump say again?

US President Donald Trump has once again claimed that he had postponed a possible nuclear war by stopping the increasing tension between India and Pakistan through trade. Trump made this statement during a meeting with NATO General Secretary Mark Roote at the Oval Office of the White House on Monday.

Trump said, “We have succeeded in finding a solution between many wars. You have an example of India and Pakistan, which were moving in the direction where there could have been a nuclear war in the next one week, but we used the business to handle the situation.”

He further said, “I clearly said that America will not talk on business until you (Indo-Pak) resolve mutual disputes. The situation was calm only then.”

Trump again repeated old claim

This is not the first time Trump has claimed this. On May 10, through social media posts, he also said that India and Pakistan agreed to the complete and immediate ceasefire with America’s mediation. Since then, he has reiterated the same statement dozens of times that he played a decisive role in ending Indo-Pak tension.

India had already rejected this claim

However, the Government of India has already completely rejected Trump’s claim. India says that the ceasefire with Pakistan was agreed after direct talks between the military officers (DGMO level) of the two countries, not by the mediation of a third country.

The Ministry of External Affairs had made it clear at that time that India does not accept external intervention in its bilateral matters and has been talking to Pakistan through military channels to maintain peace along the border.
