Did Modi’s fact-check force Trump to make U-turn on India-Pakistan ceasefire credit?

Since May 10 — when India and Pakistan announced a ceasefire in hostilities — Donald Trump has on 14 different occasions claimed that he helped broker peace between the two nuclear-armed nations. However, in a press interaction on Wednesday, the US president changed his tune, crediting the countries’ leaders for showing restraint. The reversal comes a day after PM Narendra Modi fact-checked the American president, saying India ‘has never accepted mediation, does not accept it, and will never accept it’
