But I stopped the war between Pakistan and India,” he repeated, praising the Indian Prime Minister and the commander of the Pakistani armed forces, Asim Munir, with whom he is scheduled to meet at the White House on Wednesday.
They are both nuclear powers, and I stopped it,” the president said, adding that this fact was not covered enough. “Has there been one article written about how I stopped a war between the two largest nuclear-armed countries? I don’t think there has been one article written about that.

Foreign Minister Vikram Misri stressed that the ceasefire was achieved through negotiations between the Indian and Pakistani militaries, and not through US mediation.
