US President Donald Trump, who took credit for the Pakistan-India ceasefire, took a U-turn on Thursday. He said in Qatar that he did not mediate between the two countries, he only helped.

Trump said that I am not saying that I did it, but it is certain that I helped settle what happened between India and Pakistan last week. He said that there could have been a much worse situation between India and Pakistan, both of them had suddenly started firing missiles and we settled everything.

Earlier Trump had said that he had told both the countries that if they did not make a ceasefire, America would not do business with them.
