U.S. President Donald Trump stated in the Oval Office that his tariff threats prevented a nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan during their May 2025 Kashmir clashes, which involved seven downed aircraft. He also claimed to have stopped a war between Pakistan and Iran—two nations he called nuclear powers—despite Iran lacking nuclear weapons and no such conflict occurring.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised Trump’s role in de-escalating South Asian tensions during a recent U.S. visit, while Indian officials attribute the ceasefire to bilateral talks and reject Trump’s involvement.
