US President Donald Trump on Wednesday reiterated his claim of America’s role in South Asia, his intervention in the India-Pakistan struggle, one of his “glorious” diplomatic achievements, is a claim that India has rejected rapidly.
Trump said during a press briefing after the NATO Summit in NATO, Netherlands, “The most important in all, India and Pakistan … I finished with a series of phone calls on business.
“I said,” Look, if you are going to fight each other … then it was getting very bad, you know how bad the last attack was. It was really bad, “said Trump. “If you are going to fight each other, we are not making a business deal,” said Trump.
“I met them for logic, and I said, if you are going to fight we are not doing business deal. He said, no, I want to make a business deal. We stopped the nuclear war …”

Trump also mentioned that General Asim Munir recently visited the White House. “And in fact, I had normal, which was very impressive. General from Pakistan was in my office last week,” he said.
Speaking about India, Trump said, “Prime Minister Modi is a great friend of mine. He is a great gentleman. He is a great man. And I argued him.
In recent weeks, Trump repeatedly stressed that he has warned New Delhi and Islamabad that the US would stop trade if stress moves forward. “I would either be interested in making a deal if they were going to war with each other. I will not and I will tell them.”
India rejects the claim
Indian authorities clearly and repeatedly denied that the trade was a factor in de-escation, stating that the conflict resolved came through direct military-to-monsoon interaction between the directors of military operations (DGMOS) of the two countries.

In a 35 -minute phone call with the US President last week, PM Modi said that any suggestion of external arbitration was rejected firmly and said that India will “never accept” the arbitration.
The deadlock followed a deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April, killing 26 civilians. In response, India launched Operation Sindor, which targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and POK. The ceasefire affected the four-day intensive border limit on May 10.
