US President Donald Trump doubled down on his claim of stopping eight wars, including military conflict between India and Pakistan last year, during the one year of his second term in the White House. The American commander-in-chief said Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif told him that around 35 million people would have died in India's Operation Sindoor if not for US intervention for a truce. "35 million people, said the Prime Minister of Pakistan, would have died if it were not for my involvement," Trump said during his State of the Union address at the US Congress.
