White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt once again claimed that United States President Donald Trump has ended the military conflict between India and Pakistan.
“The President is using the might of American strength to demand that respect from our allies, our friends, our adversaries all around the world,” Leavitt said at a press briefing as reported by PTI .
She said that it was seen not only in the progress with Russia and Ukraine but also “in the closing of seven global conflicts around the world.”
“We’ve seen it with the end of the conflict between India and Pakistan, which could have resulted in a nuclear war if we had not had a President who believed in the strength and the leverage that comes with the job of being the President of the United States of America,” Leavitt said.
In an answer to another question, Leavitt said that Trump used trade “in a very powerful way as leverage” to bring the India-Pakistan conflict to an end.
Since May 10, when Trump announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire after a “long night” of talks mediated by Washington, he has repeated his claim over 40 times that he “helped settle” the tensions between India and Pakistan.
India has been consistently maintaining that the understanding on cessation of hostilities with Pakistan was reached following direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two militaries.
