President Donald Trump, at an event at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida on Monday, reiterated his claims that he helped prevent a war between Pakistan and India in May 2025. He praised Defense Force Chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, calling him a “well-respected general.”
“We have ended a potential nuclear war between Pakistan and India,” Trump said in response to a question, alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Navy Secretary John Phelan.
The US President mentioned that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had given him credit for saving lives through his intervention and mediation.
“You know, eight planes were shot down. This war was starting to rage, and he actually said the other day that President Trump saved 10 million lives, maybe more,” he said.
At the same event, Trump announced plans to create a new class of U.S. Navy warships named after him, a rare honor for a sitting president. The first ships of the so-called Trump class will be built as part of a broader initiative he calls the “Golden Fleet.”
