WASHINGTON : US President Donald Trump has once again claimed that he played a decisive role in preventing a major conflict between India and Pakistan in May 2025. In an interview with an American news channel, Trump said he used tariffs as a strategic tool to de-escalate tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. He asserted that he had ended eight wars, at least six of which were halted due to tariff threats. “I told them if you don’t stop the war, I will impose tariffs,” Trump said, adding that he did not want to see people dying. Meanwhile, Trump issued another warning to Iran, saying strict measures would follow if ongoing negotiations fail.
