New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): U.S. President Donald Trump highlighted his strong relationship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Gaza Peace Summit held in Egypt. Trump stated that India is a great nation and that its leader is a very good friend of his. At the moment of this remark, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif was standing right behind him.

Trump appreciated India’s leadership, saying that his close friend had done remarkable work in India. This statement comes at a time when tensions between India and Pakistan had escalated earlier this year. Addressing world leaders at the summit, Trump said, “India is a great country, and at its top is a very good friend of mine. He has done fantastic work. I believe India and Pakistan will coexist very well.”

“Tariffs Brought Peace to the World”

A day before the summit, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he had resolved several international disputes, including tensions between India and Pakistan, through tariffs. He stated, “I said if you both want to fight a war and use nuclear weapons, I will impose tariffs of 100%, 150%, even 200%.”

According to Trump, following this warning, the situation was under control within 24 hours. In an interview with Fox News on October 9, he reiterated this claim. He added, “Seven planes had been shot down between India and Pakistan, and both nations were on the brink of war. I said if you don’t talk, we will stop trade and impose heavy tariffs. Within 24 hours, a peace agreement was reached.”
