Trump Praises Modi as ‘Tough as Hell,’ Sticks to Claim of Ending Indo-Pak Conflict

PTI, TOKYO/ SEOUL, OCT 29, 2025 : On one hand, Donald Trump praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the "nicest looking guy," a "killer," and "tough as hell." But in the same breath, the former US President once again waded into the India-Pakistan conflict, claiming he had stopped their recent military hostilities.

A few hours earlier, Trump also claimed that “seven brand new” planes were shot down during the May 7-10 Operation Sindoor. “Prime Minister Modi is the nicest looking guy... he looks like you’d like to have him as your father... he’s a killer... he’s tough as hell,” Trump said while speaking at the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) CEO Summit in Gyeongju, South Korea. Trump landed in South Korea Wednesday morning from Japan, as part of his three-nation tour of Asia.

While emphasizing that he has a “great relationship” with the Indian Prime Minister, Trump reiterated his claim that he used trade negotiations to resolve the war between India and Pakistan.

“I called Prime Minister Modi. I said, we can’t make a trade deal with you... (He said) No, no, we must make a trade... I said, No, we can’t. You are starting a war with Pakistan. We’re not going to do it,” Trump said.

Trump also praised Pakistan’s Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, calling him “a great fighter” and “a great guy.”

“Then I called Pakistan. I said, we’re not going to trade with you because you’re fighting with India, and you know, two nuclear nations. And they said, no, no, no, you should let us fight. They both said that,” he added.

Trump claimed that the leaders of both India and Pakistan called him after two days and stopped fighting.
