Overview

• Speaking to U.S. military leaders on Tuesday, President Trump again said he stopped the India–Pakistan fighting and called it one of several wars he has ‘settled.’
• He asserted he used trade threats to push both sides to stand down and repeated an unverified claim that seven planes were shot down during the flare‑up.
• Trump said Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir praised him during recent White House meetings, describing his role as saving ‘millions of lives.’
• New Delhi has consistently rejected Trump’s narrative, stating the cessation of hostilities was reached bilaterally through DGMO‑to‑DGMO contact.
• Outlets note no independent public evidence has substantiated key details Trump cites, and his repeated claims have drawn negative reactions in India.
