Trump says was ‘honored’ by Pakistan army chief’s praise for averting India war

ISLAMABAD: US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he was “honored” that Pakistan’s powerful army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, credited him with “saving millions and millions of lives” by preventing a war between Pakistan and India from escalating during a military standoff in May 2025. Trump’s remarks referred to the most serious confrontation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors in years, which erupted earlier this year and brought them close to full-scale conflict before US-led diplomacy helped defuse tensions.
