United States President Donald Trump claimed that seven 'brand new' jets were shot down during a brief but intense aerial conflict between Pakistan and India in May, following an attack in Indian-administered Kashmir. Trump stated that his threat to halt trade with both countries played a significant role in brokering a ceasefire, which ended a four-day military standoff. While Pakistan asserted it had downed six Indian jets, India acknowledged losses without specifying numbers. Since the ceasefire, Pakistan and the United States have expanded cooperation in areas such as defense, trade, and climate resilience, aiming to strengthen their bilateral relationship.
