US President Donald Trump has once again claimed credit for mediating peace between India and Pakistan earlier this year, saying that his threat to impose massive tariffs on both nations helped “settle” the conflict within 24 hours.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One while en route to the Middle East, Trump said his trade strategy has been key to ending multiple global conflicts. He added that his next focus could be easing tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

“I settled a few wars just based on tariffs. Between India and Pakistan, I said — if you guys want to fight a war and you have nuclear weapons, I’ll put tariffs on you both, 100%, 150%, even 200%. I had that thing settled in 24 hours,” Trump claimed.
