Bigger success than I’ll ever be given credit for: Trump on bringing India, Pakistan back from brink

U.S. President Donald Trump has said his talking to India and Pakistan and bringing them back from the brink is a “bigger success” than he’ll ever be given credit for, saying there was “great hatred” among the two nations and tensions got to a point where the next phase was probably “nuclear”.

“A bigger success than I’ll ever be given credit for. Those are major nuclear powers. Those are not like a little bit, and they were angry,” Mr. Trump said in an interview to Fox News on Friday (May 16, 2025).

Mr. Trump was asked about the “couple of foreign policy successes” before his trip to the Middle East, when he picked up the phone and called India and Pakistan. Mr. Trump replied, “I did, ya”.
