In a joint media appearance with Elon Musk at the Oval Office, former US President Donald Trump claimed the U.S. defused tensions between India and Pakistan, potentially preventing a nuclear disaster. While praising the cooperation from both nations, Trump also tied it to U.S. trade interests, saying “We can’t trade with people who are shooting at each other.” However, India has firmly rejected any claims of U.S. mediation, asserting that the ceasefire was a direct bilateral decision through DGMO-level talks and had nothing to do with trade or any third-party intervention. This comes as India steps up its global outreach post Operation Sindoor, with Shashi Tharoor clarifying in Colombia that India’s anti-terror stance and military actions are based purely on national interest—not foreign mediation.#donaldtrump #indiarejectsmediation #operationsindoor #trumpmusktalks #indiapakceasefire #india #pakistan #thirdpartyrole #shashitharoor #modidoctrine #nuclearconflict #usindiarelations #toibharat
