Trump Claims Role in India-Pakistan Ceasefire
Donald Trump has said he stopped a big fight between India and Pakistan in May 2024.
He said eight planes were shot down during this time.
India and Pakistan both say they shot down some planes, but they don't agree on the numbers.
India says they handled the situation themselves without Trump's help.
Trump thinks he should get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the fight.
Some people think India lost a few planes, but no one is sure.
It was a tense time, but no full-scale war happened.
Trump also said Pakistan's Prime Minister thanked him for saving millions of lives.
India and the US were also trying to make a trade deal, but it didn't happen because India didn't want to call Trump.
Trump says the US is the biggest consumer in the world and India should sign the deal.
Donald Trump claims he stopped a major escalation between India and Pakistan in May 2024.
He stated that eight planes were shot down during the four-day conflict.
India maintains that de-escalation was achieved through bilateral and established military and diplomatic channels.
India says it downed six Pakistani aircraft, while Pakistan claims it shot down six Indian jets.
Independent assessments suggest India lost at least four aircraft, but this has not been corroborated.
