Trump makes BIG claim on India-Pakistan conflict following Operation Sindoor, says, ‘Peacekeeper because of tariffs,… four of seven wars…’
The United States leader announced that his contentious tariffs were the cause two nuclear-armed neighbors agreed to a truce during armed conflict earlier this year.
US President Doland Trump has expressed on multiple occasions his desire to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize and has a history of making bold statements regarding how he personally ended over seven global conflicts. Now, once again, Doland Trump claimed to have ended India(BHARAT)-Pakistan crisis following Operation Sindoor.
Who is making claims about the India(BHARAT)-Pakistan conflict?
Trump again wrongly claimed he ended the conflict through the means of trade, even after the Ministry of External Affairs rejected his claims on several occasions. Trump wrote, “We’re a rich country again, we’re a powerful country because, you know, I’ve ended seven wars, at least half of them were because of my ability at trade and because of tariffs. If I didn’t have the power of tariffs, you would have at least four of the seven wars raging… If you look at India(BHARAT) and Pakistan, they were ready to go at it. Seven planes were shot down… I don’t want to say exactly what I said, but what I said was very effective. Not only did we make hundreds of billions of dollars, but we’re a peacekeeper because of tariffs.”
Why does Trump link tariffs to his role as a “peacekeeper”?
Then, turning to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s impending visit, said that he was visiting to talk about tariffs. Subsequently, he added, “But so I think he’s coming probably to talk about tariffs, because a lot of companies are leaving Canada to come into the US, and they’re leaving Mexico, and by the way, they’re leaving China, they’re leaving all over the world to come into the US. Nobody’s actually seen anything like it.”
The United States leader announced that his contentious tariffs were the cause of two nuclear-armed neighbors agreeing to a truce during armed conflict earlier this year. When asked if he would adjust his views on tariffs, Trump replied to reporters at the White House, “If I didn’t have the power of tariffs, you would have at least four of the seven wars raging.”
This isn’t the first occasion that US President has made similar claims. Since May 10, when Trump announced via social media that India(BHARAT) and Pakistan had agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire following what he called ” a long night” of talks mediated by Washington.
