Trump again claims credit for India-Pakistan ceasefire

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Friday again that he stopped India and Pakistan from fighting and that he told both countries that his country cannot trade with nations that are in conflict, according to India media.

“We stopped India and Pakistan from fighting. I believe that could have turned into a nuclear disaster,” Trump said during a press conference in the Oval Office.

Trump said he wanted “to thank the leaders of India, leaders of Pakistan and I want to thank my people also. We talked trade and we said we can’t trade with people who are shooting at each other and potentially using nuclear weapons.”
