The US President further claimed that the Prime Minister of Pakistan had told him that Trump had “saved at least 10 million lives” by getting the two countries to stop fighting.
As he opened discussions with Netanyahu and senior members of his delegation, Trump said he had “settled eight wars” during the first year of his second term in the White House.
India, however, has consistently rejected claims of third-party mediation, maintaining that the understanding to end hostilities was reached bilaterally.
During remarks in the Oval Office, with Mamdani standing next to him, Trump repeated his claim that he solved the May conflict between India and Pakistan.
The envoy also questioned the continued existence of certain UN mandates that India believes have outlived their relevance, a thinly veiled reference to the UNMOGIP.
India has repeatedly said that the cessation of hostilities was achieved through talks between the Directors General of Military Operations of both countries, not through any external intervention.
