Jaishankar Parliament Speech | "No PM-Trump Call In April 22-June 17": S Jaishankar On Trump Claims
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has squashed any speculation US President Donald Trump played a role - either by threatening to withhold trade or speaking on behalf of the Pakistani Army - in negotiating an India-Pakistan ceasefire to end Operation Sindoor. "There was no call between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Trump between April 22 (the Pahalgam attack) and June 17 (the ceasefire)... and at no stage was there any link between trade and what was going on..." he said Monday evening during a volatile Parliament discussion on Op Sindoor. The remarks follow Mr Trump claiming he coaxed Delhi and Islamabad into stopping a conflict that escalated after missile strikes on terrorist bases in Pak and Pak-occupied Kashmir. Earlier, the Congress' Gaurav Gogoi said Mr Trump claimed 26 times he used trade deals to ensure a ceasefire.
