Since May 10, Trump has repeatedly claimed that he played a key role in mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday praised US President Donald Trump for helping bring about peace between India and Pakistan, calling him a “transformative president” during their meeting at the White House.
“You are a transformative president… the transformation in the economy, unprecedented commitments of NATO partners to defence spending, peace from India, Pakistan through to Azerbaijan, Armenia, disabling Iran as the force of terror,” Carney said during bilateral talks in the Oval Office, as Trump nodded in agreement.

Carney, who took office in April this year, had previously visited the White House in May.
Trump’s Claim On India-Pakistan Ceasefire
Since May 10, Trump has repeatedly claimed that he played a key role in mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. On that day, he announced on social media that both countries had agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire following a “long night” of talks brokered by Washington.
Trump has since referred to this claim nearly 50 times, stating that he “helped settle” the tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. However, India has consistently denied any third-party mediation in the matter.
The flare-up between India and Pakistan followed the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack, which left 26 civilians dead. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror camps and infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
