‘Pakistan PM would have died’: Trump misspeaks, claims he prevented India-Pakistan nuclear war

US President Donald Trump, in his 2026 State of the Union address, claimed his intervention prevented a nuclear war between India and Pakistan, saying “35 million people said the Pakistan PM would have died if not for my involvement.” The statement refers to military tensions during India’s 2025 Operation Sindoor. While Trump has repeated this claim before, India has rejected any third-party mediation, emphasizing that its operations were carried out independently. The remarks have sparked global debate.
