In a statement delivered at the White House, President Donald Trump once more claimed that his intervention helped avert a potential nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan. Trump attributed the de-escalation to trade negotiations, despite India's insistence on the resolution being achieved through direct military communications.

Speaking alongside Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev and Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan after a peace accord, Trump remarked on his broader efforts to bring peace across the globe, citing previous peace settlements and emphasizing the significance of preventing nuclear threats.

Trump has frequently mentioned his diplomatic role in stopping the India-Pakistan conflict, underscoring his broader strategy of conflict resolution through trade. Despite India's disputations of his claims, Trump remains emphatic about his contributions to global peace initiatives.
