US President Donald Trump doubled down on his claim of brokering a truce between India and Pakistan during military conflict earlier this year. He claimed that during his recent meeting with the Pakistani leadership, their army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, credited him for “saving millions of lives” by stopping the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The prime minister of Pakistan (Shehbaz Sharif) was here along with the field marshal (Munir), who’s a very important guy in Pakistan. He was here (White House) a few days ago. And he said to a group of people, ‘This man (Trump) saved millions of lives because he saved (stopped) the war from going on,'” Trump told military leaders in Quantico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“That war was going to get very bad. I was very honoured. I love the way he said it. Susie Wiles [White House Chief of Staff] was there. She said that was the most beautiful thing. But we saved a lot of them.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He went on to claim that his administration has settled ‘seven wars’ in the nine months he spent in the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“And yesterday we might have settled the biggest of them all (Gaza war), although I don’t know, Pakistan and India were very big, both nuclear powers. I settled that,” he said, referring to his proposed Gaza peace deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The US President further said that he told Islamabad and New Delhi that he is “not going to trade” with them. They responded, “‘No, no, no, no, you cannot do that.’ I said, ‘Yes, I can. You go into this freaking war that I’m hearing about,'” Trump said, adding that seven planes were shot down. He, however, did not specify which country’s jets he was referring to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
