Trump Repeats Claim He Ended India-Pakistan War during UNGA Speech
In his address to the United Nations General Assembly, President Donald Trump claimed that he “ended” the India-Pakistan war, while criticizing the UN for producing “empty words.” He questioned the purpose and effectiveness of the global body.
Claim Under Scrutiny
Trump is not the first to make this claim. Fact-checkers note that although a ceasefire between India and Pakistan was agreed in May 2025, India disputes U.S. mediation. Analysts say Trump’s role in brokering peace is exaggerated, and his statement that he “ended” the war is misleading.
UN Critique and Broader Rhetoric
Besides the India-Pakistan claim, Trump also reiterated criticisms of climate policies as a “green scam,” and warned European countries they faced decline if they continued lenient migration and energy policies. He called the UN an institution that is “not even coming close to living up to its potential.”
Reaction and Context
Experts and observers say the India-Pakistan truce was driven by direct negotiations and regional diplomacy, not solely by U.S. intervention. The conflict over Kashmir and border tensions, long-standing issues between the two countries, remain unresolved.
