How does Trump claim that tariffs have prevented wars?
President Donald Trump, who spoke from an oval office, described tariffs as a strategic tool that prevented more armed conflicts.
“The tariffs are very important to the United States. We are a peacekeeper because of tariffs. Not only we earn hundreds of billions of dollars, but we are because of peace tariffs,” he said.
The President suggested that without tariffs four of the seven ongoing wars would still rage globally.
“If I didn’t have the power of tariffs, you would have at least four of the seven wars raging … If you look at India and Pakistan, they were ready for it.
What role does Trump claim in India-Pakistan’s conflict?
Donald Trump claimed that his communication during the recent Indian-Pakistani skirmish was crucial.
“I don’t want to say exactly what I said, but what I said was very effective … Not only did we earn hundreds of billions of dollars, but we’re peacefully for tariffs,” he said, repeating his role in facilitating the ceasefire.

The conflict between nuclear armed neighbors began after India started the Sindoor 7 Operation on May and focused on the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir. This was a retaliation for an attack by Pahalgam 22 April, which killed 26 civilians.
India and Pakistani country reportedly achieved understanding to end the hostility on May 10. After four days of intensive cross -border drones and missile exchanges.
India was constantly arguing that the cessation of hostility was achieved by direct conversations between the CEO of Military Operations (DGMO) of two military products, which denies any intervention of third parties.
How does Trump’s claim deal with reality?
While Donald Trump attributes tariffs to the averting of the conflict, India and the official accounts of Pakistan attribute the resolution to the bilateral military dialogue, not to external influence.

“We are a peacekeeper because of tariffs. Not only did we earn hundreds of billions of dollars, but we are a peacekeeper because of tariffs,” he repeated.
