Trump, in a 'Right About Everything' cap, claimed he stopped an India-Pakistan 'nuclear war'. India denied it, while he also hinted at sanctions or tariffs on Russia.
US President Donald Trump was seen wearing a red cap that read 'Right About Everything' in the Oval Office, where he again claimed that he stopped the 'nuclear war' between India and Pakistan.
Trump stated that he stopped what could have been a nuclear war. He has made similar claims in the past more than 40 times since May 10. He even announced on social media that he secured a 'full and immediate' ceasefire between the two nations after overnight talks.

However, India has repeatedly denied these claims. New Delhi has clarified that the agreement of ceasefire was decided upon direct discussions between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both armies. PM Modi stated that Operation Sindoor ended only with the decision and that there was no involvement of any third party.
Speaking on the Ukraine-Russia war, Trump stated that in the coming weeks he will make a major decision. He hinted that it could either mean 'massive sanctions or tariffs' on Russia or telling Kyiv that 'this war is not Washington's war'. He said, In two weeks, we are going to know which way I am going… whether it’s massive sanctions or massive tariffs or both, or do we do nothing and say it’s your fight.”

He further stressed that there should be a direct meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. “It takes two to tango. I wanted to have a meeting with those two. If they don’t meet, then why was it so, after I told them to have a meeting?” he said.
He added that he has solved seven wars, “I’ve settled seven wars and you think about pre-wars, that’ll be three, so 10 wars… Not happy at all. Over the next two weeks we are going to find out which way it’s going to go.”
