7 planes were down: Trump again claims he prevented India-Pak war
US President Donald Trump claimed he prevented a potential nuclear war between India and Pakistan during the May 2025 tensions by threatening heavy tariffs. In an interview, Trump said 'seven planes were shot down' and that his 200% tariff threat de-escalated the conflict following India's Operation Sindoor. India has dismissed Trump's claims, reiterating that issues with Pakistan are bilateral.
