US President Donald Trump has repeated the claim that he got "things settled" between India and Pakistan following the four-day military conflict between the two countries that could have turned into a "nuclear conflict", reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Saturday.
Speaking at the White House on Friday (August 8, 2025), Donald Trump also claimed that five or six planes "got shot down" during the recent conflict between the South Asian neighbours.
“They were going at it, they were going at it big, and they were two great leaders that came together just prior to what would have been a tremendous conflict, as you know, a nuclear conflict, probably,” Trump said.

Three weeks ago, President Trump had said up to five fighter jets were shot down during the India-Pakistan conflict.
Trump made his remarks at a dinner with a number of Republican US lawmakers at the White House. “In fact, planes were being shot out of the air. Five, five, four or five, but I think five jets were shot down actually,” Trump said while talking about the India-Pakistan hostilities.
