Donald Trump, US President.
New Delhi/Washington: There was no talk about trade in talks between top leaders of India and America during the India-Pakistan military conflict. Government sources gave this information on Monday. While US President Donald Trump claimed that he had pressurized New Delhi and Islamabad to end the struggle by threatening to cut trade with the two countries. Sources said that US Vice President JD Vance spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 9, but there was no talk about business in the conversation.
A source said, “Vice President Vance spoke to the Prime Minister on May 9 after Operation Sindoor started.” According to the source, “External Affairs Minister Marco Rubio spoke to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on May 8 and 10 and National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval on 10 May. There was no reference to trade in any of these discussions.” Based on sources, this explanation came at a time when Trump claimed on Monday that he forced the two countries to end enmity by raising the issue of business cuts.
What did Trump say
Trump told a press conference at the White House that he told India and Pakistan that if they stop the struggle, America would do a lot of business with them. He said, “We will do a lot of business with you guys. Let’s stop it. If you stop it, we will do business. If you don’t stop it, we are not going to do any business.” Trump said, “I can tell you that people never used business in the way I did. And suddenly he (India and Pakistan) said, “I think we are going to stop it.”
Trump claimed, “And he has done so and he has done this for many reasons, but business is a big reason. We are going to do a lot of business with Pakistan. We are going to do a lot of business with India. We are currently interacting with India. We are going to talk with Pakistan soon, and we have stopped a nuclear struggle. ”(Language)
