US President Donald Trump on Tuesday repeated his claim that he settled the war between India and Pakistan last year, as he addressed world leaders at the UN General Assembly.
Trump also said that last week he signed a powerful new law, passed by Congress, in honour of Senator Lindsey Graham that provided him with enormous new tariff authorities. “Since I took office, it has been my great honour to settle eight wars, and in so doing, become friendly with the leaders of many of those countries. It was a great honour to do it.
Numerous of these wars have gone on for many years and even decades,” Trump said in his address to the General Debate of the 81st session of the UNGA. He said the reason he was able to “make these settlements” was the use of his “very special relationships”, trade, use and threat of tariffs, and various other reasons depending on the country. “Among them, terms of settlement, Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, Pakistan and India, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and of course the war in Gaza, which, as I stated previously, includes the return of all hostages, both living and dead,” Trump said. “The Prime Minister of Pakistan, terrific man, said that Donald Trump was responsible for saving 30 million lives and probably many more than that,” the US President said. Trump said his administration is “working very closely” with the leaders of Russia and Ukraine to end that conflict. “If necessary, I will use them,” he added.
