Trump claims 250% tariff threat ended India-Pakistan conflict

US President Donald Trump said he threatened India and Pakistan with 250 per cent tariffs to help spur the resolution of their conflict earlier this year, describing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as “the nicest-looking guy” who was also a “killer” eager to fight.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Back in May, Vice-President J.D. Vance spoke with Modi in a bid to find an off-ramp to the fighting, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio also speaking to his counterpart.
