Following a ceasefire between Pakistan and India after a series of clashes, President Donald Trump said Monday that US intervention prevented a “bad nuclear war” between Pakistan and India.
“We stopped a nuclear conflict. I think it could have been a bad nuclear war, millions of people could have been killed. So I’m very proud of that,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
Trump also said the United States is ready to help India and Pakistan in the wake of a ceasefire agreement that he says his administration helped broker, Reuters reported.
Trade is a big reason why they stopped fighting, he said at an event at the White House.
This is a developing story and is being updated with more details.
