Beneath Diplomatic Narratives: Unpacking the India-Pakistan Conflict and Trump's Intervention Claim
President Donald Trump recently asserted that five jets were downed during the India-Pakistan clash and his trade diplomacy halted the conflict. Trump's claims were met with skepticism from New Delhi, which attributes the de-escalation to direct military talks. The US designates TRF a terrorist group, strengthening Indo-US ties.
US President Donald Trump stirred controversy with claims about the India-Pakistan conflict, asserting that five aircraft were downed amid the skirmishes. During a White House dinner, Trump suggested his administration's intervention played a decisive role in halting the hostilities through trade negotiations.
However, New Delhi disputes Trump's narrative, asserting that the de-escalation occurred due to direct military communications between the two nations, with no US mediation involved. India continues to reject Pakistani claims of downing six Indian jets, citing a lack of evidence.
The US has now designated The Resistance Front (TRF), linked to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, as a terrorist organization. India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar praised this decision, marking it as a crucial step in enhancing US-Indian counter-terrorism collaboration.
