Trump ‘Proud’ of Stopping India-Pakistan Potential ‘Nuclear War’
- On June 25, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed at a NATO summit in The Hague that he stopped a potential nuclear war between India and Pakistan.
- The conflict erupted after a fatal terror incident occurred in Pahalgam on April 22, which was succeeded by four days of cross-border retaliatory strikes, resulting in increased tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad.
- Trump asserted he used trade leverage, warning both countries that the U.S. would halt trade deals if fighting continued, which he said led to ceasefire agreements by military chiefs on May 10.
- Trump said that if the parties continued fighting among themselves, no trade agreement would be made, and he claimed that their approach using trade negotiations helped prevent what could have escalated into a nuclear conflict rather than resolving the situation through military force.
- India rejected Trump’s claims that trade negotiations influenced de-escalation, maintaining the ceasefire resulted from direct military talks, suggesting U.S. economic pressure was not decisive.
