‘He’s nicest-looking guy, but he’s tough as hell’:Trump hails PM Modi; US Prez again takes credit for stopping India-Pak war; calls Munir a ‘great fighter’

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday repeated his claim of stopping the India-Pakistan war. He also said Former US President Joe Biden would have never done the same. Speaking at the APEC CEO Summit in South Korea, Trump said, they stopped fighting. How is that? Isn’t that amazing? Now, you think Biden would have done that? I don’t think so…” Trump says PM Modi a ‘nicest-looking guy’ Trump also lauded PM Modi during his speech. He said that he has great respect and love for PM Modi. He further said PM Modi is a nicest-looking guy. During his speech he said, “I’m doing a trade deal with India, and I have great respect and love for Prime Minister Modi. We have a great relationship.” He further added, “Prime Minister Modi is the nicest-looking guy. He’s a killer. He’s tough as hell.” Trump calls Munir ‘great fighter’ Trump also hailed Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. He also called Munir a “great fighter.” He said, “Prime Minister of Pakistan is a great guy. They have a Field Marshal. You know why he’s a Field Marshal? He’s a great fighter.” Trump repeats claims of stopping India-Pak war through trade pressure Trump shared his account of the events from earlier this year, asserting that he prevented a “war” between the two nuclear-armed neighbours with the use of trade pressure. Trump has repeatedly asserted that his intervention averted a potential war, claiming that the threat of withdrawing trade deals compelled India and Pakistan to de-escalate. India has repeatedly denied US Prez’s claims However, India has consistently maintained that the United States played no role in the peace process. According to New Delhi, the decision to halt hostilities followed a direct request from Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) to his Indian counterpart. In recent months, trade relations between the US and India have grown increasingly strained. Washington imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian exports in response to India’s continued purchase of Russian oil, arguing that the imports were “fueling Russia’s war machine.” As a result, Indian goods entering the US market now face a total tariff of 50%. Earlier this week, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to discuss bilateral relations and ongoing trade negotiations between the two countries.
