Trump Repeats Claim On India Pakistan
US President Donald Trump has reiterated his claim that he helped end tensions between India and Pakistan, stating that he threatened steep trade tariffs to push for de-escalation. The remarks were made during a recent public address in the United States.
Trump Repeats Claim On India Pakistan Conflict
President Trump said he intervened in the India Pakistan conflict and contributed to easing tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. He has previously made similar assertions about playing a role in reducing hostilities in South Asia. However, there has been no official confirmation from India or Pakistan acknowledging US mediation leading to a formal resolution of disputes. Bilateral tensions between the two countries have historically centred on issues such as cross-border security and Kashmir.
Tariff Threat Of 200 Percent Mentioned
Trump stated that he warned of imposing 200 percent tariffs on countries involved if the conflict escalated. He suggested that the possibility of punitive trade measures encouraged restraint. There is no public record of formal tariff action at that scale being implemented against India or Pakistan in connection with conflict mediation. Trade tariffs of that magnitude would typically involve formal executive and legislative procedures under US trade laws.
Ongoing India Pakistan Diplomatic Dynamics
India and Pakistan continue to manage their relationship through diplomatic and military channels, with periodic tensions and ceasefire understandings along the Line of Control. While international actors have at times called for restraint, both nations have consistently maintained that disputes are to be addressed bilaterally. Trump’s remarks come amid broader discussions on US foreign policy and global trade strategy.
