He recounted the situation to an audience at the Board of Peace, stating he spoke with both leaders and threatened tariffs if they didn't resolve their conflict. He credited himself for mediating a ceasefire and saving 25 million lives, though India has consistently denied any third-party intervention. The event was attended by Shehbaz Sharif, Prime Minister of Pakistan, and other participants in the Trump-led organization.
