‘Pak PM Would’ve Died’: Trump Says He Stopped India-Pakistan Conflict

U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a dramatic assertion during his State of the Union address, claiming that Pakistan’s prime minister would not have survived an alleged India-Pakistan confrontation had he not intervened.

“In first 10 months, I ended eight wars including Cambodia-Thailand. Pakistan and India – would have been a nuclear. The PM of Pak would have died had it not been for my involvement, said US President Donald Trump, as per PTI. 

The president further alleged that “Operation Sindoor” could have led to the deaths of as many as 35 million people in Pakistan, though he did not provide details about the basis of that estimate or the specific nature of the operation.

Trump framed his intervention as critical in averting catastrophic consequences. He suggested that without his involvement, tensions between the two South Asian neighbors might have spiraled into a nuclear exchange. India and Pakistan, both nuclear-armed nations, have a long history of military standoffs and diplomatic strain.
