In a dramatic revelation, US President Donald Trump claimed on Thursday that he played a major role in de-escalation of the recent spike in tension between India and Pakistan. While addressing the American troops at a base in Doha, Trump stated that the situation had been heading towards out of control, particularly after the deadly Pahalgam attack in Kashmir in which 26 civilians lost their lives. The US President warned that ”you’ll start seeing missiles of a different type.” He claimed, ”I Don’t want to say I did, But I sure as hell helped settle the problem between Pakistan and India last week…you started seeing missiles of different types, and we got it settled.”

The statement was on the heightened risk of military escalation after India’s retaliatory Operation Sindoor against nine other terror sites in Pakistan and POJ, and Pakistan’s cross border shelling. Trump also hinted that a trade discussion may have led to the breakthrough, stating both India and Pakistan were ”very happy” to talk commerce in place of conflict.
