US President Donald Trump has claimed he prevented a potential nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan by threatening trade tariffs. Despite not winning the Nobel Peace Prize 2025, Trump asserts he has stopped eight wars globally since taking office in January, using America's trade leverage as a diplomatic tool. While Pakistan's PM Shehbaz Sharif praised Trump's intervention following Operation Sindoor, India maintains peace was achieved through direct military communications between the two nations.
