<h1>US President Claims Role in South Asian Ceasefire, Threatens Tariffs and Secondary Sanctions Under Trade Rules</h1> The US President claimed credit for ending the conflict between two nuclear-armed South Asian countries, asserting he negotiated a ceasefire by leveraging trade deals and US influence, despite official statements from one country attributing the halt in hostilities to direct military talks without US mediation. The President also discussed imposing tariffs on one country, including on its purchases of Russian oil, threatening further secondary sanctions. The targeted country condemned the tariffs as unjustified and vowed to protect its national interests. The President reiterated his claims of resolving multiple international conflicts through negotiation and economic pressure, although no formal agreements were reached during his summit with the Russian leader.
