Trump: We Averted a Nuclear Crisis with India & Pakistan Through Trade
Former U.S. President Trump claims his administration played a key role in de-escalating the 2019 conflict between India and Pakistan, two nuclear-armed countries after a series of airstrikes and rising tensions.
> “They were hitting each other, 5 jets down. We solved it through trade.”
The 2019 Pulwama-Balakot standoff had the world on edge. India struck inside Pakistan. Pakistan shot down a fighter jet. War seemed imminent.
Trump now says U.S. economic diplomacy and backchannel trade negotiations helped calm the crisis.
