US President Donald Trump claimed again on Wednesday that he prevented war between India and Pakistan, allegedly by leveraging the trade negotiations as a deterrent. Trump, who has openly expressed his desire to win a Nobel Peace Prize, speaking at the NATO summit once again insisted that he had resolved the conflict via a series of phone calls focused on trade.
“In the last few weeks, we took care of India and Pakistan, Kosovo, and Serbia. The Congo is coming in, and Rwanda is coming in; that was a vicious war that went on. We did two others in addition to that. Nobody’s ever done anything like this,” he said.

“The most important of all, India and Pakistan… I ended that with a series of phone calls on trade. I said, ‘If you’re going to fight each other, we’re not doing any trade deal.’ The General from Pakistan was in my office last week. Prime Minister Modi is a great friend of mine. He’s a great gentleman, a great man. I got them to reason, and I said, ‘We’re not doing a trade deal if you’re going to fight.’ They said, ‘No, I want to do the trade deal.’ We stopped the nuclear war,” Trump added.
