India has denied US President Donald Trump`s claim that trade played a role in stopping the recent conflict with Pakistan. Sources said there were no talks about trade during calls between US officials and Indian leaders. US Vice President JD Vance spoke with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 9, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had talks with Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval on May 8 and 10. Trump earlier said his administration helped end the conflict and that trade with both countries would increase. His comments have sparked debate. India launched Operation Sindoor during the tensions, but officials stress that trade was never part of the discussions to end the hostilities.
