<h1>President's claim of stopping seven wars with 100% tariffs sparks dispute over sovereignty, coercive trade diplomacy, and evidence</h1> The US president publicly claimed to have halted seven wars, including a potential nuclear confrontation between two South Asian countries, by threatening 100% tariffs and conditioning trade, asserting Washington mediated a ceasefire; he repeated the claim multiple times. Officials from the two countries have denied third-party intervention, stating the cessation arose from direct military-level talks and domestic operations. The competing assertions raise legal and diplomatic issues concerning state sovereignty, the lawful use of trade measures as coercive diplomacy, and the evidentiary basis for attributing interstate conflict resolution to a third party.
