United States President Donald Trump on Monday claimed that he pressured India and Pakistan into accepting a ceasefire by threatening to stop trade with both countries.

Trump reiterated the claim that it was his administration that brokered a “full and immediate ceasefire” between India and Pakistan.

“…I think a permanent one [ceasefire], ending a dangerous conflict of two nations with lots of nuclear weapons,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “They were going at it hot and heavy, and it was seemingly not going to stop.”
