On the day of his top meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump repeated his claim several times that he stopped the war between India and Pakistan, while also commenting on the purchases of New Delhi Russian oil.
New Delhi maintained that India and Pakistan stopped their military actions after direct conversations between their soldiers without any mediation by the US.
“I negotiated five wars to their end and the wars that were difficult. India, Pakistan …” Trump said in an interview with Fox News a few hours after his high-stakes top meeting with Putin ended in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday.
The meeting between the two leaders concluded without any agreement on the termination of the war in Russia-Ukraine.
In the same interview, Trump again spoke about solving the conflict between India and Pakistan, as well as others, including between Congo and Rwanda, Thailand and Cambodia and Armenia and Azerbaijan.
“Look at India. View India and Pakistan. They already shot planes, and that might have been nuclear. I would have said it would be nuclear, and I could get it done,” Trump claimed.
Emphasizing that wars are ‘very bad’, Trump said that he seems ‘a capacity to end them, to get people together’ for which he uses the ‘power of the United States’.
When asked how he arranges conflicts, such as those between India and Pakistan, Trump said he is doing this through trade.
“Because I deal with all countries for trade, and although I have them on the phone, if I have to deal with them … they say, you know, there is a war going on, and if we trade with one or both, I say:” We are not going to make a deal unless you make peace. ”
In a separate interview with Fox News on board Air Force One on the way to Alaska for the top meeting, Trump spoke about the rates about India.
“Well, he (Putin) lost an oil side, so to speak, that India is, that about 40 percent of the oil did. China, as you know, does a lot … And if I did what a secondary sanction is called, or a secondary rate, it would be very devastating from their position. If I have to do it. Maybe I have to do it..
Last week Trump set up rates of a total of 50 percent on India, including 25 percent for the purchases of Delhi Russian oil, which will come into effect from 27 August.
In response to the rates, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the targeting of India is unjustified and unreasonable.
“Just like every major economy, India will take all the necessary measures to protect its national interests and economic security,” said it.
In the interview, the American president said he would like to concentrate on his country, but continues to get ‘these interruptions’.
“I have solved six wars in six months, when you think about it, and that is from Pakistan to India, that would be a terrible, planes that were shot, who prepared for flourishing, and they are nuclear forces and so many others,” Trump claimed.
Since 10 May, when Trump announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a “full and immediate” -the fire, he has repeated his claim on various occasions.
Trump has claimed that he has told the nuclear armed South Asian neighbors that America will do a “lot of trade” with them if they stopped the conflict.
India has consistently maintained that the understanding of stopping hostilities with Pakistan was achieved after direct conversations between the directors -general of military operations (DGMOs) of the two soldiers.
