US President Donald Trump has once again claimed credit for stopping the Indo-Pakistani military conflict. Trump said fighting the escalation would have become ugly, and stopping that conflict was essential.
“We have stopped a lot of fights; a very, very big one was between India and Pakistan. We stopped that war over trade. We are dealing with two nuclear powers. We said that we are not going to trade with you at all if you keep fighting. They were about to go nuclear, and stopping that was very important,” Trump said.
Earlier in June, Trump had made his claim for the 13th time in the past two months following the escalation that lasted from 6 May to 10."
Trump, while announcing the ceasefire, called Narendra Modi a “fantastic leader.”

“Well, I stopped the war between Pakistan. I love Pakistan. I think PM Modi is a fantastic man; I spoke to him last night. We will have a trade deal with PM Modi of India. I stopped at the war between Pakistan and India,” he added.
Prime Minister Modi, on the night of 6-7 May, said India only attacked the terrorist camps and hideouts in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The confrontations brought the two nations to the brink of war. However, the escalations ended after both sides agreed to cease all hostilities.
