"President Donald Trump told reporters Just today I stopped a war referring to a conflict he took credit for weeks ago that resumed this week. Trump has taken a beating from just about every quarter over his trade policies, which have been blamed for a good portion of the price inflation that became the inflection point of this month's electoral bloodbath."
"REPORTER: But if the Supreme Court was against you, sir, is there a chance that PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, then I'd have to do something else. We'll have to figure something else out. That would be a very sad day for our country. We use, just today, I stopped a war. I won't go into which one, but you'll be able to figure it out."
"But just today I stopped the war by the use of tariffs. Often times I've been able to do that. And if you think of the cost of war, just forget about death, which is number one, but the death within those countries. But that all comes to our, in one form or another, it all comes right back to us."
President Donald Trump claimed he 'stopped a war' by using tariffs, taking credit for a ceasefire brokered weeks earlier between Cambodia and Thailand. The ceasefire later unraveled, contradicting his assertion and leaving its status uncertain. Critics and fact-checkers have challenged multiple similar claims that tariffs ended conflicts. Tariff-driven trade policies have been widely criticized and blamed for contributing to price inflation that influenced recent election losses. Trump repeated the claim while answering reporters aboard Air Force One, saying he would not name the conflict and arguing that the threat of tariffs provides leverage and a means to fight unfair trade practices.
