US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for preventing a nuclear war between India and Pakistan during hostilities in April and May 2025. He stated that the conflict, which involved the downing of five jets, was de-escalated through trade negotiations that he brokered. Trump did not specify which country lost the aircraft, though Pakistan has publicly claimed to have shot down at least six Indian jets, providing coordinates, aircraft types, and communication audio as evidence. Trump has asserted that he called the parties involved, warning that trade would cease if hostilities continued, and has mentioned enforcing ceasefires multiple times, reportedly up to 27 occasions. Early analyses of the conflict highlighted the role of Pakistan’s Chinese-made J-10 fighters and PL-15 air-to-air missiles, but new developments have raised further questions. Despite these claims, the specifics of the military engagements and the exact impact of Trump's intervention remain unclear.
