While speaking at a flagpole installation event at the White House's South Lawn, as per ANI reported, Trump added, "This man (Asim Munir) was extremely influential in stopping the war from the Pakistani side. PM Modi from the Indian side and others. And they are going at it. Both are nuclear countries. They've got to stop. I stopped a war between two major nuclear nations. I don't think I had a story written on it....."

PM Modi and President Trump were scheduled to meet on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Canada. However, President Trump had to return to the US early, due to which this meeting could not take place.

After this, at the request of President Trump, both leaders spoke over a phone call and the conversation lasted approximately 35 minutes, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said in a statement on Wednesday.

Misri said President Trump had expressed his condolences to PM Modi over a phone call after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22. And he also expressed his support against terrorism. Prime Minister Modi spoke in detail about Operation Sindoor with President Trump.
