‘Head’s going to spin’: Trump again boasts tariff threats ended India-Pak clash, recalls call with PM Modi

US President Donald Trump has again claimed he prevented a potential nuclear war between India and Pakistan by using trade threats during heightened tensions earlier this year. Trump said he spoke directly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and pressured both sides to stand down. India has consistently rejected these claims, maintaining the ceasefire was reached through its own channels. The row comes as Washington plans steep tariffs on Indian goods, while New Delhi asserts it will not compromise under foreign pressure.
