US President Donald Trump has once again brought up the Donald Trump India-Pakistan conflict from May 2025, offering a new, inflated number of aircraft he claims were downed during the brief hostilities.

Speaking at the America Business Forum in Miami, Trump, known for his exaggerated claims, seems to have revised his personal count of the incident.

During the speech, the President boasted about his role as a peacemaker during the May 7-10 "Operation Sindoor." He told the business audience, "I heard they were going to war. Seven planes were shot down, and the eighth was really badly wounded... Eight planes were shot down, essentially."

This number marks a significant increase from his previous US President claims. Initially, Trump stated that five jets were shot down. Months later, at an event in Tokyo, he revised that figure to seven. Now, the count stands at eight. Throughout these repeated claims (which he has reportedly made over 60 times), Trump has never specified which country the aircraft belonged to.

The president didn't just stop at the numbers. He once again took credit for de-escalating the India-Pakistan tensions, claiming he single-handedly stopped a "potential nuclear war."

Trump claimed he used Trump trade threats to force a ceasefire. "They are two nuclear nations," he said, recounting his alleged intervention. "I said, 'I am not going to make any trade deals with you guys unless you agree to peace'."

He claimed that this tariff threat worked instantly, stating he received calls from both nations about a ceasefire deal within 24 hours.

However, India has consistently refuted this version of events. While Pakistan has often played along with Trump's narrative, New Delhi maintains that the Indian military response and subsequent ceasefire were managed through direct diplomatic contact between the two countries, not through US intervention or trade pressure. Trump's latest comments appear to be another attempt to highlight his self-proclaimed credentials as a master negotiator.
