US President Donald Trump reiterated on Wednesday that he played a key role in stopping the possible war between Pakistan and India.

His statement came just hours after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s claim that after a four -day conflict in May, the ceasefire was the result of a direct military connection with the two neighboring countries, without any involvement.

Trump made comments of his latest ceasefire before hosted by Field Marshal Asim Munir at a rare meeting in the White House on Wednesday, in which India, an American president and his predecessor, who are likely to be part of an attempt to overthrow Biden against China.

Asked what they want to get from the lunch meeting, which will follow the call with Modi on Tuesday evening, Trump told reporters in the White House: “Well, I stopped a war … I love Pakistan.

“But I stopped the war between Pakistan and India [COAS Munir] It was extremely influential in stopping it from Pakistan. Modi from the Indian aspect and others. They were going on it – and they are both nuclear countries. I stopped it. “

Trump said last month that South Asian neighbors armed with nuclear weapons agreed to a ceasefire after the US talks, and that after the end of hostility, it urged the countries to focus on trade rather than war.

However, Modi told Trump late on Tuesday that the ceasefire was achieved through dialogue between Indian and Pakistani militants and not US mediation, according to India’s most senior diplomat, Foreign Secretary Vikram Masri.

Contrary to the position of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, US President Donald Trump, last month, Washington refused to join Pakistan in a ceasefire.

“Prime Minister Modi clearly told President Trump that during this period, India and Pakistan have no trade agreements between India and Pakistan,” Indian Secretary of State Vikram Masri said in a press statement, citing a telephonic conversation between the two leaders.

The diplomat claimed that “talks through existing military channels to stop direct military operations between India and Pakistan, and on the insistence of Pakistan.”

The heavy fighting between Pakistan and India in the decades was born on April 22 in India’s illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), killing 26 people, most of whom were tourists. New Delhi blamed Pakistan for the attack, Islamabad denied the allegation.

Pakistan has already said that the ceasefire took place after its army launched the Indian Army on May 7.

In response to the attacks on the cross-border India, Pakistan launched Operation Bonyan Um-Marsus in response to Indian aggression down six Indian airplanes, including three Rafales.

The two countries agreed on the US broker ceasefire on May 10, after a four -day armed conflict.

Although Pakistan has repeatedly praised President Trump for his role in the ceasefire, which he has highlighted on several occasions, but India has refused to join the United States.

However, the US president is on record to repeat his position and even offered to mediate in the Kashmir dispute between the two countries.
