Former U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that he once advised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to go to war with Pakistan. Speaking at a recent political gathering, Trump said he told Modi that any military conflict between the two nuclear powers would have devastating consequences for the region.
Trump said the conversation took place during his presidency when tensions between India and Pakistan were at a peak. He described his message as a call for peace and restraint, stressing that both nations should avoid escalation.
The former president has frequently mentioned his role in easing global tensions, often citing his diplomatic engagements with world leaders. His latest comments once again bring attention to the fragile peace between India and Pakistan, who have fought multiple wars since independence.
So far, there has been no official response from the Indian or Pakistani governments regarding Trump’s statement. Political observers say his remarks could revive debate over Washington’s influence in South Asian affairs during his tenure.
