United States President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that he prevented a major escalation, a nuclear confrontation, between India and Pakistan during the three-day conflict in May last year. Earlier this week, the US President even began his second year in office, claiming that New Delhi and Islamabad were “ready to go nuclear” and that his intervention averted disaster. However, the chief of international nuclear watchdogs, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), contradicted his claim at the World Economic Forum in Davos by dismissing his remarks as “political views” and that there is “no record of political inspection”, according to a media report.
