Nuclear War Between India and Pakistan: Trump Said I Stopped the War That Could Have Been a Nuclear War

"Two very smart people decided not to keep going with that war; that could have been a nuclear war," Trump told reporters.

Asked earlier what he wanted to achieve from meeting Munir, Trump told reporters: "Well, I stopped a war ... I love Pakistan. I think Modi is a fantastic man. I spoke to him last night. We're going to make a trade deal with Modi of India.

"But I stopped the war between Pakistan and India. This man was extremely influential in stopping it from the Pakistan side, Modi from the India side and others," he said. "They were going at it - and they're both nuclear countries. I got it stopped."

Mr. Trump on Friday said, “I think the deal I’m most proud of is the fact that we’re dealing with India, we’re dealing with Pakistan and we were able to stop potentially a nuclear war through trade as opposed through bullets.”

“Normally, they do it through bullets. We do it through trade. So I’m very proud of that. Nobody talks about it but we had a very nasty potential war going on between Pakistan and India. And now, if you look, they’re doing fine,” he told reporters.

“It was getting very bad. It was getting very nasty. They are both nuclear powers,” he said.

Nuclear War Between India and Pakistan: Trump Said the USA Averted a Nuclear Conflict Between India and Pakistan

President Trump said the US didn't just broker a ceasefire - it averted a "nuclear conflict". On Monday, in an address to the nation, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said: "[There] is no tolerance for nuclear blackmail; India will not be intimidated by nuclear threats.

"Any terrorist safe haven operating under this pretext will face precise and decisive strikes," Modi added.

In his memoir, former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wrote that he was jolted awake at night to speak with an unnamed "Indian counterpart" who feared Pakistan was preparing to use nuclear weapons during the 2019 stand-off with India.

In March 2022, India accidentally fired a nuclear-capable cruise missile which travelled 124km (77 miles) into Pakistani territory before crashing, reportedly damaging civilian property. Pakistan said India failed to use the military hotline or issue a public statement for two days. Had this occurred during heightened tensions, the incident could have spiralled into serious conflict, experts say. (Months later, India's government sacked three air force officers for the "accidental firing of a missile".)

“On Saturday, my administration helped broker a full and immediate ceasefire — I think a permanent one — between India and Pakistan, ending a dangerous conflict of two nations with lots of nuclear weapons. And they were going at it hot and heavy and it was seemingly not going to stop,” Trump said Monday at the White House.

“We helped a lot and we helped also with trade. I said, ‘Come on, we're gonna do a lot of trade with you guys. Let's stop it. Let's stop it. If you stop it, we do a trade. If you don't stop it, we're not going to do any trade,’” the president said. “People have never really used trade the way I used it, that I can tell you. And all of a sudden they said, ‘I think we're gonna stop.’”

Trump spoke at a news conference where he signed an executive order on restricting U.S. drug prices.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Monday that the ceasefire reached Saturday was only a “pause,” and he threatened to retaliate against any future attack. A spokesman for Pakistan’s military said Sunday that that nation would not be the first to violate the agreement.
