Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his claim of playing a pivotal role in preventing a nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan during the 2025 escalation. Speaking at a press conference in the Oval Office on May 30, Trump stated, “We talked trade and we said, ‘we can’t trade with people that are shooting at each other and potentially using nuclear weapons’.” He credited his administration's diplomatic efforts and the cooperation of both nations' leaders for de-escalating the situation. 

On May 10, both countries agreed to a ceasefire after intense negotiations. Trump has consistently asserted that U.S. intervention, particularly through trade leverage, was instrumental in halting the hostilities. However, India has maintained that the ceasefire was a result of bilateral talks between military officials, emphasizing its preference for direct communication without third-party mediation.

While Trump's claims have been met with skepticism in some quarters, the ceasefire has been largely upheld, with both nations working towards reducing border tensions. The situation remains delicate, and the international community continues to monitor developments closely.
