President Donald Trump said on Monday that US intervention prevented a “poor nuclear war” between Pakistan and India after the South Asian rivals agreed to a ceasefire following a series of clashes.

“We stopped a nuclear conflict. I think it could have been a bad nuclear war, millions of people could have been killed. So I’m very proud of it,” Trump told journalists in the White House.

Trump also said the United States is ready to help Pakistan and India in the wake of a ceasefire agreement that he says his administration helped broker.

Trade is a major reason why they stopped fighting, he said at an event in the White House.

“Although I am not even discussed, I will increase trade essentially with both of these big nations. In addition, I will work with both of you to see if … a solution can be reached to Kashmir,” Trump said in the post.

The fluid’s ceasefire came after Pakistan-armed forces launched a large-scale military action of a large-scale retention, named “Operation Bunyan-EM-Maroos” and targeted several Indian military strikes across multiple regions.
