NEW YORK: On the day of his summit meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump repeated multiple times his claim that he stopped the war between India and Pakistan, while also commenting on New Delhi’s purchases of Russian oil.
New Delhi has been maintaining that India and Pakistan halted their military actions following direct talks between their militaries without any mediation by the US.
“I’ve negotiated five wars to their end, and the wars that were tough. India, Pakistan…” Trump said in an interview with Fox News a couple of hours after his high-stakes summit meeting with Putin ended in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday.
