Overview
- At a Mar-a-Lago meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump was recorded saying, "I did eight of them... India and Pakistan," while complaining he received no credit.
- Since May 10, he has repeatedly claimed that Washington brokered a "full and immediate" India–Pakistan ceasefire after a "long night" of talks.
- The Indian government has consistently denied third-party mediation, attributing the cessation to talks between the two militaries' Directors General of Military Operations, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi said no leader asked India to stop Operation Sindoor.
- The confrontation followed a deadly April 22 attack in Jammu and Kashmir that killed 26 civilians, India’s May 7 Operation Sindoor, four days of cross-border strikes, and a May 10 understanding to halt hostilities.
- Independent reporting cited in the coverage says Trump’s broader claims of ending multiple conflicts are exaggerated, noting renewed fighting in some disputes he cites.
