· World · Hindustan Times, Al Jazeera
US President Donald Trump reiterated at the 81st UN General Assembly session that he prevented India and Pakistan from entering a full-scale war in May 2025 following the Pahalgam terror attack. He stated that Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif thanked him for saving 30 million lives, calling him a 'terrific man.' Trump claimed leaders of countries where he intervened to stop conflicts sent him letters of gratitude. The remarks were made during his UNGA speech on Tuesday, September 22, 2026. No independent verification of the claimed war prevention or casualty figures was provided in the article.
Why it matters
The claim affects perceptions of US diplomatic involvement in South Asia and could influence India-Pakistan relations if believed by regional audiences. It also raises questions about the accuracy of statements made by world leaders at global forums like the UNGA.
