WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump said on Monday that US intervention prevented a “bad nuclear war” between Pakistan and India, after the South Asian rivals agreed a ceasefire following a series of clashes.

“We stopped a nuclear conflict. I think it could have been a bad nuclear war, millions of people could have been killed. So I’m very proud of that,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

Trump also said the United States is ready to help Pakistan and India in the wake of a ceasefire agreement that he says his administration helped broker.

Trade is a big reason why they stopped fighting, he said at an event at the White House.
