In a recent campaign speech, former U.S. President Donald Trump once again highlighted his role in global peacekeeping, claiming he helped prevent major wars during his time in office. One of the examples he gave was the India-Pakistan conflict, referencing a time when, according to him, “jets were shot down” and the situation was extremely tense.

Trump suggested that his intervention played a key role in calming things down. While he didn’t mention specific dates, he seemed to be referring to the 2019 Pulwama-Balakot crisis, when military tensions between India and Pakistan had reached a peak. At that time, the U.S. did encourage both nations to show restraint, but the exact extent of Trump’s personal involvement remains unclear.

This isn’t the first time Trump has brought up India-Pakistan in his speeches. He has often portrayed himself as a global peacemaker, claiming he “stopped a lot of wars” and made the world a safer place. However, critics argue that many of his statements are vague or exaggerated, lacking concrete details.

Still, his mention of India and Pakistan reflects how significant and delicate their relationship is on the world stage. Even years later, global leaders continue to talk about the region’s stability as a major concern.

Whether one agrees with Trump’s views or not, it’s clear that India-Pakistan tensions continue to be a talking point in international politics.
