Trump claims U.S. mediation stopped India-Pakistan war after terror attacks, but India denies foreign involvement.

State of the Union Address, President Donald Trump claimed he prevented a nuclear war between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attacks, stating Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif warned he would have died and up to 35 million people could have perished without his intervention. Trump asserted U.S. mediation led to a ceasefire, though India denied any foreign role, saying Pakistan’s military initiated the de-escalation. India had launched Operation Sindoor in May 2025 in response to the attack that killed 26 civilians, conducting precision strikes across the Line of Control. Pakistan retaliated with drone and UCAV attacks, which India repelled. Trump also claimed to have ended eight conflicts, including in Ukraine and Gaza, but experts noted a lack of verifiable progress on major global issues.
