India and Pak ceasefire is a 'big success', "Level of anger between the two was not a Good Thing": Trump

US President Donald Trump, who has made repeated claims that his administration brokered a "ceasefire" between India and Pakistan, on Friday described it as a "big success" and said the level of anger between the two neighbours "was not a good thing." 

"We are very happy with what happened with, I hope it continues, and I think it will, but what happens with India and Pakistan. That was a big success. If you had seen the level of anger between the two, that was not a good thing," Trump said during a gaggle with the press on Air Force One on May 16 as he was returning to Washington from his Gulf trip.

This is



the seventh time since May 10 that Trump has claimed that the US brokered the "ceasefire" between New Delhi and Islamabad.

Trump, who visited Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates during his four-day visit to the region, repeated his claim that he "helped settle" the tensions between India and Pakistan when he addressed US troops at the Al Udeid Air Base on Thursday in Doha, Qatar, the largest US military base in the Middle East.

India carried out precision strikes under 'Operation Sindoor' on terror infrastructure early on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people.
