India and Pakistan’s Sensible Leaders Declared Ceasefire

US President Donald Trump Acknowledges for the First Time

Washington (USA) – For the first time in weeks, US President Donald Trump refrained from taking credit for preventing a potential war between India and Pakistan, instead saying the two “very smart” leaders had themselves decided to avoid escalation. Trump made the remarks during an interaction with reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday, after hosting Pakistan’s Army chief General Asim Munir for lunch at the White House.

“The reason I had him here, I want to thank him for not going into the war, ending the war. And I want to thank, as you know, Prime Minister Modi just left a little while ago, and we’re working on a trade deal with India. We’re working on a trade deal with Pakistan,” said Trump.

Apparently referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and General Asim Munir, Trump said he was glad the leaders of India and Pakistan, both “very smart people,” chose to step back from a conflict that could have turned nuclear.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that he “helped settle” tensions between India and Pakistan following their decision to halt military conflict on 10th May. (A deceitful country like this should never be considered a friend by India ! – Editor)
