She said that the president has brokered, on average, about one peace deal or ceasefire per month during his six months in office.”It’s well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize,” she said.
Trump has repeated his claim nearly thirty times that he “helped settle” the tensions between India and Pakistan and that he told the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours that America will do a “lot of trade” with them if they stopped the conflict.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in Parliament this week that no leader of any country asked India to stop Operation Sindoor.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday, July 30, categorically said there was no third-party intervention in bringing about a ceasefire with Pakistan during Operation Sindoor, asserting that the halting of the military action was also not linked to trade as claimed by Trump.
Intervening in the special discussion on Operation Sindoor in the Rajya Sabha, Jaishankar said Prime Minister Modi and Trump did not have any phone calls between April 22, when the Pahalgam terror attack took place, and June 16.
