US President Donald Trump has said that he warned Pakistan and India of ‘not doing any trade’ if they did not stop fighting.

Speaking at a press briefing at the White House, Trump said, “Let’s stop it, let’s stop it. If you (Pakistan and India) stop it (the conflict), we’re doing trade. If you don’t stop it, we’re not going to do any trade.”

He added: “I’m very proud to let you know that the leadership of India and Pakistan was unwavering and powerful, but unwavering in both cases. They really were, from the standpoint of having the strength and the wisdom and fortitude to fully know and to understand the gravity of the situation,” he added.

“People have never really used trade the way I used it. By that, I can tell you, and all of a sudden they said. I think we’re gonna stop, and they have.

“We’re going to do a lot of trade with Pakistan … and India,” he said, adding that the US was negotiating a trade deal with India and would be negotiating with Pakistan soon as well.
