They Stopped’: Trump Takes Credit for Halting India-Pakistan Conflict
U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed credit for helping de-escalate the recent conflict between India and Pakistan, which saw four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes. Speaking at a rally, Trump said, “What I said was very effective — they stopped,” referring to the ceasefire agreement reached on May 10.
The conflict, which had raised fears of a broader military confrontation, ended after diplomatic backchannels and international pressure reportedly helped both nations step back. Trump suggested his intervention played a key role in calming tensions, though official statements from New Delhi and Islamabad have not confirmed direct involvement.
India and Pakistan agreed to halt further strikes and resume diplomatic engagement, with both sides citing the need to avoid further escalation. Trump’s comments have stirred debate, with critics questioning the extent of his role, while supporters see it as an example of effective international diplomacy.
