US President Donald Trump on Tuesday once again repeated his claim that he brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan in May, asserting that his intervention prevented a major conflict from escalating. He said Pakistan Army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir told him he "saved millions of lives" and called the move "beautiful".

"The prime minister of Pakistan was here along with the field marshal, who's a very important guy in Pakistan. And he said to a group of people, 'This man saved millions of lives because he stopped the war from going on,'" Trump said. "That war was going to get very bad. I was very honoured. I love the way he said it. Susie Wiles [White House Chief of Staff] was there. She said that was the most beautiful thing. But we saved a lot of them."
