Overview
- In an Oval Office meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, President Trump said he has “stopped eight wars” and noted he still has “one to go” with Vladimir Putin.
- At the Future Investment Initiative and US–Saudi Business Forum, Trump detailed that he warned India and Pakistan of a 350% tariff to deter what he described as a potential nuclear clash.
- Trump recounted that Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif thanked him for “saving millions” and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi later told him “we’re done,” claims not corroborated by India.
- India’s Ministry of External Affairs has repeatedly rejected any US role in the May 2025 ceasefire, while Pakistani officials have credited or thanked Trump for helping avert the conflict.
- The remarks revive scrutiny of the four‑day Operation Sindoor escalation that ended on May 10 and have drawn fresh criticism from India’s Congress party, which says Trump’s tally of such claims has reached 60.
