US President Donald Trump has claimed that he prevented a potential nuclear war between India and Pakistan in May 2025 by using trade threats, specifically threatening tariffs. Trump stated that seven or more fighter jets, valued at approximately $150 million each, were shot down during the conflict before his intervention led to a ceasefire within five hours. He also asserted that he gave Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi 24 hours to halt the war, which Modi reportedly ended in five hours. However, India has denied US mediation in the conflict, asserting that the ceasefire resulted from direct bilateral military talks between India and Pakistan without any involvement of trade negotiations with the US. Indian officials have disputed the number of jets lost, suggesting the figure was closer to five rather than seven. Additionally, there is no record of talks between Trump and Modi during the period of Operation Sindoor, which was the codename for the conflict. The claim of US intervention has been met with skepticism, with India emphasizing its sovereign decision-making in the ceasefire process.
