US President Donald Trump doubled down on his claim of stopping eight wars, including military conflict between India and Pakistan last year, during the one year of his second term in the White House. The American commander-in-chief said Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif told him that around 35 million people would have died in India’s Operation Sindoor if not for US intervention for a truce. “We’re proudly restoring safety for Americans at home and abroad. In my first ten months, I ended eight wars… Pakistan and India would have had a nuclear war,” Trump said during his State of the Union address to the US Congress. “35 million people, said the Prime Minister of Pakistan, would have died if it were not for my involvement.” Trump added that his administration is “working very hard to end a ninth war.” “The killing and slaughter between Russia and Ukraine. This is a war that never would have happened if I were president.” Trump also honoured a World War II veteran. He later said, “I’ve always wanted the Congressional Medal of Honour, but I was informed I’m not allowed to give it to myself.
