US President Donald Trump has again said he stopped the conflict between India and Pakistan, repeating his claim from the podium of the United Nations to world leaders gathered here for the 80th session of the General Assembly.
“Likewise, in a period of just seven months, I have ended seven unendable wars. They said they were unendable…Some were going for 31 years. Two of them, 31 think of it, 31 years.
