The US president has again claimed that his intervention resulted in peace between the South Asian neighbors
US President Donald Trump has said Pakistan and India are "going to live very nicely together."
Trump made the remarks on Monday at the signing ceremony of the declaration endorsing the ceasefire in Gaza at Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt.
"India is a great country with a very good friend of mine at the top and he's just done a fantastic job. I think Pakistan and India are going to live very nicely together," Trump said.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who was standing behind the US president when he made the remarks, responded by calling Trump a "man of peace," and praised his efforts to end several conflicts.
"Today again I want to nominate the great president for the Nobel Peace Prize because he has not only brought peace in South Asia but saved millions of lives," Sharif said. "I would like to salute you for your exemplary leadership and I think the world will remember you as the man who went out of his way and stopped eight wars."
A terrorist attack in India's Jammu and Kashmir in April killed 26 civilians, prompting New Dehli to retaliated with strikes in Pakistan. A brief conflict followed before a ceasefire was announced between the two neigbors.
Before New Delhi could announce an end to the fighting, Trump posted on social media that a deal between India and Pakistan had been reached following a "long night of talks" mediated by Washington. New Delhi has repeatedly denied the claim.
Trump has also said he threatened to impose tariffs on the South Asian neighbors if they didn't stop fighting. This has also been refuted by the Indian government.
Several US officials have repeated Trump's claims on using trade as a means to stop the military confrontation. In May, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told the US Court of International Trade that the India-Pakistan ceasefire "was only achieved after President Trump interceded and offered both nations trading access with the United States to avert a full-scale war."
