  • Hostilities increased between India, Pakistan after the attack of April Iiojk.
  • The United States negotiated the truce among nations with nuclear weapons on May 10.
  • The president of the United States again takes the credit for Alto El Fuego, India is still in denial.

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said on Friday that up to five planes were demolished during the recent hostilities of Pakistan-India that began after a militant attack in April in Jammu and Kashmir of the illegally occupied Indians (Iiojk), with the calm situation after a high fire in May.

Trump, who made his comments at a dinner with some Republican legislators from the United States in the White House, did not specify what he meant.

“In fact, the airplanes were being triggered from the air. Five, five, four or five, but I think five planes were really shot down,” Trump said while talking about Pakistan-Indian hostilities, without elaborating or providing more details.

Pakistan said he had demolished five Indian planes in combat Aire-Aire. The general of the highest rank of India said at the end of May that India changed tactics after suffering losses in the air on the first day of hostilities and established an advantage before a high fire was announced three days later.

India also said that he had demolished “some planes” of Pakistan. Islamabad denied having suffered some loss of airplanes.

Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for Alto El Fuego between India and Pakistan who announced on social networks on May 10 after Washington held conversations with both parties.

India has deferred with Trump’s claims that it was the result of his speech and threats to severe commercial conversations.

The position of India has been that New Delhi and Islamabad must solve their problems directly and without external participation.

India is an increasingly important American partner in Washington’s effort to counteract China’s influence on Asia, while Pakistan is an ally of the United States.

April’s attack in Iiojk killed 26 men and caused strong fighting among Asian neighbors with nuclear weapons in the last escalation of a rivalry of decades.

Nueva Delhi blamed the attack against Pakistan, who denied responsibility while asking for a neutral investigation.

Washington condemned the attack but did not blame Islamabad directly.

On May 7, Indian airplanes bombed sites through the border that New Delhi described as “terrorist infrastructure”, disregarding an exchange of attacks between the two countries for combat planes, missiles, drones and artillery that killed dozens until the fire was reached.
