Former US President Donald Trump has once again claimed he played a decisive role in de-escalating a potential conflict between India and Pakistan, stating that he saved "at least 10 million people" and that Pakistan's Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, publicly thanked him for this intervention. These remarks were made during a recent public appearance, where Trump also reiterated his belief that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for his global peace-making efforts. However, India has consistently and firmly refuted any claims of third-party mediation in its dealings with Pakistan. Indian officials have maintained that any de-escalation of tensions, such as the ceasefire reached in May 2025 following India's 'Operation Sindoor' which targeted terror infrastructure in response to an April 2025 attack, was achieved through direct bilateral military-to-military communication. While Pakistan has reportedly praised Trump's role in brokering a ceasefire during the May 2025 conflict, the specific claim of saving '10 million lives' is widely regarded as a significant exaggeration of the potential consequences. This is not the first time Trump has made such assertions; he has repeatedly claimed credit for preventing a nuclear conflict between the two South Asian nations, particularly referencing the 2019 Balakot airstrikes period, though former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's memoir also suggested the US averted a nuclear conflagration in 2019. The news article from The Economic Times accurately reports Trump's repeated claims. While the claims themselves contain significant exaggeration and disputed facts regarding mediation, the reporting of these statements by Trump is accurate and corroborated by multiple credible news sources.
