‘I stopped nuclear war, still I will not get the credit’, US President said on India-Pak ceasefire

US President Donald Trump has said that negotiating with India and Pakistan and rescuing them from the crisis is a great success for me, for which I will never be given due credit. He said that there was a lot of hatred between the two countries and the tension had increased to such an extent that its next stage could be a ‘nuclear’ war.

He said that when tensions were rising, missiles were being used and the confrontation was heading towards tit for tat, he intervened and prevented the situation from worsening. When asked in the interview whether he called India and Pakistan, Trump replied that yes, I did. When asked if he considered it a success, he replied yes.

Trump said that tensions between the two countries had escalated to such an extent that the next step could be a ‘nuclear’ war. Did you see where this tension was going? It was a kind of retaliation – tit for tat. It was getting deeper and deeper. I mean, more missiles. Everybody was ‘relatively strong’. This tension had reached a point where you knew what was going to happen next. The ‘N’ word. You know what the N-word is, right?

When the interviewer asked Donald Trump if he knew the ‘N’ word, he replied “Nuclear”! Trump said, “It’s the N-word. It’s a very bad word, isn’t it? In many ways the N-word used in the nuclear sense is the worst thing that can happen and, I think they (India) were very close to it. There was a lot of hatred. Then I said we are going to talk about trade. We are going to do a lot of trade. I am using trade to settle accounts and establish peace.
