President of the United States, Donald Trump

Washington (US) – “I was in the middle of discussions for a trade deal with India and Pakistan when I suddenly read in the newspaper that both countries were at war. I heard that seven planes had been shot down and an eighth was damaged — meaning a total of eight aircraft were downed,” claimed former US President Donald Trump in a recent statement.
