[Trump: Threatened 250% Tariffs on India and Pakistan to Resolve Conflict] US President Trump stated that earlier this year, he threatened to impose 250% tariffs to urge India and Pakistan to resolve their conflict. He described Indian Prime Minister Modi as "the coolest guy" and a "tough guy" eager for a fight. Trump has repeatedly claimed responsibility for resolving the four-day armed conflict, angering Indian officials who have dismissed his claims of mediation. Sources revealed that Modi missed this week's regional leaders' summit in Malaysia due to concerns among Indian officials that Trump would again claim responsibility for the ceasefire. During his trip to three Asian countries, Trump repeatedly mentioned his role in the conflict. "I called Prime Minister Modi and said, 'We can't make a trade deal with you,' Trump said, 'You're at war with Pakistan, and we're not doing that.'" Trump said he also called Pakistan, and both sides told him, "You should let us resolve this ourselves." The president ultimately stated that he threatened to impose "250% tariffs" on both countries, which means you will never be able to trade with them again.
