Former U.S. President Donald Trump has once again recalled his involvement in defusing tensions between India and Pakistan during a critical military standoff.
Speaking at a public event, Trump said that both countries were on the brink of a serious conflict, but his timely intervention helped prevent it from escalating further.
He claimed that India and Pakistan were “ready to go at it,” referring to the heightened tensions following the Pulwama attack and the subsequent airstrikes in 2019.
According to Trump, seven aircraft were sh_ot down during the confrontation, and the situation could have worsened without diplomatic efforts to restore calm.
The former president stated that he would not disclose his exact words from that time, but emphasized that his response was “very effective” in reducing hostilities between the two nuclear-ar_med nations.
Trump’s comments appear to highlight his behind-the-scenes diplomacy and communication with both governments during the crisis.
During his presidency, Trump often positioned himself as a potential mediator between India and Pakistan, especially on issues related to Kashmir and regional peace.
Although neither country formally accepted his mediation offer, his remarks drew international attention and underscored Washington’s interest in maintaining stability in South Asia.
Trump’s recent statement has once again brought that episode back into the spotlight, reminding the world of the fragile balance between the two neighboring nations and the importance of diplomatic engagement in preventing conflict between nuclear-capable states.
