U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday (October 29, 2025) praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the “nicest-looking guy” while describing him as a “father” but also calling him “a killer” and “tough as hell”, while hinting at an imminent trade deal between the two countries.
While delivering his keynote remarks at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEOs Luncheon in Gyeongju, South Korea, the U.S. President also reiterated his disputed claim of personally averting a “nuclear war” between India and Pakistan in May.
Mr. Trump asserted that his intervention helped de-escalate tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations, claiming that seven planes were shot down during the conflict. He said he personally contacted both PM Modi and Pakistan’s leadership to halt the hostilities
