US President Donald Trump on Friday (local time) repeated his claim of stopping the four-day war between India and Pakistan using “trade deal" as a tool. Trump has made this claim numerous times since May 10, the day an “understanding" to halt the fight was negotiated among the two rival neighbours.
Trump, without naming the country that was at the receiving end, claimed that five jets were downed in the India-Pakistan conflict.
“We stopped a lot of wars. And these were serious, India and Pakistan, that was going on. Planes were being shot out of there. I think five jets were shot down, actually. These are two serious nuclear countries, and they were hitting each other," Trump said.
