When asked whether Iran was a topic of discussion during his meeting with Munir, Trump replied, “Well, they know Iran very well, better than most, and they’re not happy about anything. They’re not bad with Israel. They know both of them. However, they probably know Iran better. They observed the situation, and he concurred with me.

“The reason I had him here is that I want to thank him for not going into the war and for ending it. I want to express my gratitude. As you are aware, Prime Minister Modi departed recently, and we are in the process of negotiating a trade agreement with India. The president stated, “We are negotiating a trade agreement with Pakistan.”

„Beide waren hier, aber vor ein paar Wochen war ich mit Modi zusammen. He was here, but now we are speaking to him. And I’m really glad that two intelligent individuals, along with their staff, decided to stop pursuing that war. A nuclear war could have resulted from that. They are two major nuclear powers—huge, enormous nuclear powers—and they made that decision.

This is the first time in weeks when Trump did not take credit for stopping the military conflict between India and Pakistan.

Since India and Pakistan agreed on May 10 to cease military hostilities, Trump has made several assertions claiming that he “helped settle” the tensions between the two nations and that he informed the nuclear-capable South Asian neighbors that the U.S. would engage in “a lot of trade” with them if they ended the conflict.

At the G7 Leaders’ Summit in Kananaskis, Canada, Modi and Trump were supposed to have a meeting on the sidelines, but the American president made an early return to Washington.

Before leaving Kananaskis and concluding his first trip to Canada in ten years, Modi engaged in a 35-minute phone call with Trump.

In a video message from Kananaskis, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stated that Modi informed Trump that during Operation Sindoor, there was “no point” at which discussions took place—at any level—regarding an India-US trade agreement or any US mediation proposals between India and Pakistan.

At the request of Islamabad, discussions on halting military action were conducted directly between India and Pakistan via their established communication channels, involving both armed forces.

Misri stated that Modi asserted India would categorically reject any third-party mediation, emphasizing that there is total political agreement in India on this issue.

Misri noted that after the Pahalgam attack on April 22, Trump conveyed his condolences to Modi during a phone call and expressed his backing in the fight against terrorism.

On Tuesday, a phone call took place in Kananaskis, marking the “first conversation” between the two leaders since April.

According to Misri, Trump paid close attention to the prime minister’s points and showed his backing for India’s battle against terrorism.

Modi expressed that India now perceives terrorism not as a proxy war but as a direct war, and that Operation Sindoor is still in progress.

Trump asked if Modi could make a stop in the US while returning from Canada, but the prime minister was set to head to Croatia, which was the final destination of his three-nation tour that started in Cyprus.

According to Misri, Modi stated he could not visit Washington because of prior commitments, and both leaders concurred on the need to try to meet soon.

Trump remarked earlier that he had spoken to Modi, whom he called “a fantastic man,” and emphasized that the two nations would establish a trade deal while reiterating his assertion that he had prevented a war between India and Pakistan.

Well, I put an end to the war. I have a great affection for Pakistan. In my opinion, Modi is an outstanding individual. Last night, I had a conversation with him. We will establish a trading agreement with Modi from India. Trump stated on Wednesday, “But I halted the war between Pakistan and India.”

Trump was questioned about his diplomatic goals for the meeting with Munir. Trump referred to the army chief, stating, “This man was extremely influential in stopping it from the Pakistan side.”

„Modi, representing India, and others. They were engaged in conflict, and both are nuclear nations. I managed to get it to stop. I don’t believe I had a single story. Did I get one story written? I halted the conflict between two significant nations, both of which possess nuclear weapons. “I don’t think a story was written about it,” he said, adding that the people know.

Approximately two weeks following the April 22 terrorist attack that resulted in 26 fatalities, India initiated Operation Sindoor, aimed at terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

After four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes, India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict.

Since then, sources in New Delhi have asserted that the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) for both India and Pakistan have come to an agreement to halt military actions immediately. They stated that no third party was involved.
