US President Donald Trump on Sunday yet again took credit for stopping conflicts around the world, including the recent one between India and Pakistan. His latest remarks came amid tensions between New Delhi and Washington after Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Indian goods.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump on Sunday slammed radio host and author Charlamagne Tha God, and said he (God) knows nothing about him or what he has done. “He’s a Low IQ individual, has no idea what words are coming out of his mouth, and knows nothing about me or what I have done – like just ending 5 Wars, including a 31 year bloodbath between Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, where Seven Million people have died, and there was no end in sight,” he said.
“He didn’t know that, or India and Pakistan or, wiping out Iran’s nuclear capabilities, or closing the horrendous open Border, or creating the greatest economy, where prices and Inflation have come way down, and where STUPID and CORRUPT JOE BIDEN set the record for doing the Worst Job as President, EVER,” Trump added.
Trump’s remark came days after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the US president should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for ending several conflicts around the world, including the one between India and Pakistan.
Just a day earlier, Trump said in an interview on Newsmax that he has settled a lot of wars. “You take a look at what’s happened just over the last little while. We’ve settled a lot of, a lot of very beautiful wars have been settled… One of the wars India, Pakistan, nuclear,” he said.
“I settled that up. And I settled it up with trade. I settled a lot of them with trade. I said ‘listen, you guys are going to fight. You can fight all you want. I mean, just fight your hearts out. But we’re not doing a trade deal.”

India-US Trade Tensions
However, India has repeatedly denied any external intervention after Operation Sindoor, in which Indian forces targeted nine terror camps located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a recent address in the Lok Sabha, made it clear that no third party asked India to stop its actions against Pakistan, and stressed that the Pakistan DGMO asked for a ceasefire. Modi said India decided to pause the conflict after achieving 100% of its goals.
Tensions between India and the US increased after Trump announced 25% tariffs on all Indian imports, in addition to an unspecified penalty for buying Russian crude oil and military equipment. He escalated the rhetoric by referring to India’s economy as “dead”.
Furthermore, Trump also announced a trade deal with Pakistan and said that Washington will work with Islamabad to develop what he described as the South Asian nation’s “massive oil reserves.” He also slapped 19% tariffs on Pakistani imports.
