Trump Claims Threat of 250% Tariffs Ended India-Pakistan Military Conflict

Kathmandu. US President Donald Trump has reiterated his claim that he threatened both India and Pakistan with a 250% tariff to stop the military conflict between the two countries. He said that five of the eight wars he claimed to have ended were resolved through trade pressure.

Speaking at an election rally in Corpus Christi, Texas on Wednesday, he said he warned both countries' prime ministers that they would not be allowed to trade with America if they continued the war. He claimed that after this pressure, a ceasefire was reached, and Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif said he had saved at least three crore lives.
