<h1>President repeatedly claims he forced ceasefire between nuclear-armed states by threatening trade suspension despite denials</h1> The US president publicly asserted that he induced a ceasefire between two nuclear-armed states by threatening to suspend trade deals, repeating the claim multiple times despite one state's consistent denial of third-party mediation. The statements reference prior cross-border military operations and a short-lived cessation of hostilities following intense strikes. Legal issues include potential diplomatic misrepresentation, the role of economic coercion in interstate dispute resolution, and conflicting narratives affecting attribution of mediation. Such claims could influence international relations, treaty negotiations and domestic scrutiny of executive conduct in foreign-policy decision-making.
