US President Donald Trump again repeats claims that he helped stop hostilities between India and Pakistan and warns that the conflict could have turned “nuclear.” Multiple outlets report that Trump, without citing specific evidence or providing detailed information, says “11 planes were shot down” during the hostilities. The comments are framed as part of Trump’s broader assertion that the US played a role in preventing escalation between the two countries.
India has consistently rejected suggestions that the United States or any other third party mediated or influenced the India-Pakistan ceasefire. The reports emphasize that India does not accept claims of external intervention.
Overall, the coverage reflects a dispute over responsibility for de-escalation and the accuracy of specific operational claims. While Trump reiterates his account, Indian authorities continue to deny any US mediation and do not corroborate the details he provides about air activity during the conflict.
