Trump Says He Prevented India-Pakistan Nuclear War, Cites Seven Jets Shot Down

Donald Trump has claimed credit for averting a nuclear war between India and Pakistan. He stated that the conflict was on the brink of escalation and just weeks away from becoming a nuclear exchange. In a recent speech, Trump revised the number of jets he claims were shot down during the conflict, raising the number to seven. He indicated that he utilized trade as a tool to resolve the situation, stating he threatened tariffs to halt the fighting. This announcement coincided with a discussion by US Vice President JD Vance about the administration’s strategy of using economic pressure, including sanctions and tariffs, against other nations, such as Russia.
