In Brief

(Donald Trump) President of the United States Donald Trump has once again come into the limelight due to his statements. Speaking at a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump commented on the Russia-Ukraine war, oil prices, and relations with India.

Trump said that since he started managing the affairs of the United States for the second time, he has brought many wars around the world under control. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin has disappointed him. According to him, if crude oil prices fall, there will be pressure on Putin to stop the war. But if European countries continue to buy oil from Russia, the situation will not improve.

Speaking about India, Trump said, “I am very close to India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I recently wished him a happy birthday. We have excellent relations, but still, I imposed restrictions on India.” Trump also took credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. He claimed that he pressured both countries to continue trade, which reduced the conflict.

India has repeatedly denied Trump's claims. India has clarified that the ceasefire with Pakistan was solely the result of direct talks between senior military officials of both countries, with no intervention.
