Trump Repeats Claim of Preventing India-Pakistan War, Cites Shehbaz Sharif's Thanks

  • Donald Trump reiterated his claim of stopping a war between India and Pakistan, stating Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif thanked him for saving "at least 10 million lives."
  • Trump made these remarks at an event for the renaming of Southern Boulevard to Donald J Trump Boulevard.
  • He also mentioned making eight peace deals, ending the war in Gaza, and achieving peace in the Middle East during his presidency.
  • India has consistently denied any third-party involvement, asserting that peace was brokered directly after Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
