New York/Washington, July 19: In a fresh claim, US President Donald Trump said “five jets were shot down” during the military conflict between India and Pakistan in May and repeated his assertion that the fighting ended following his intervention.
In his remarks at a White House dinner on Friday, the US president, however, did not provide specific details such as whether the jets were downed by either of the two countries or if he was referring to combined losses by both sides. “But I think five jets were shot down actually, that was getting worse and worse, wasn’t it?” Trump said at the dinner he hosted for Republican senators.
