FOR TRUMP, 7=8 PLANES
The Free Press Journal
|November 07, 2025
Known for making inconsistent statements, US President Trump has now claimed eight planes were shot down during the India-Pakistan conflict in May — an increase from his earlier count of seven — again without clarifying which nation the aircraft belonged to.
Addressing the America Business Forum in Miami on Wednesday, he updated the number while recounting his version of how he “helped” resolve the conflict.
"Pakistan and India... I was in the midst of a trade deal with both of them, and then... I heard they were going to war. Seven planes were shot down, and the eighth was really badly wounded... Eight planes were shot down essentially," Trump said. The US President reiterated that India and Pakistan "made peace" after he threatened to halt trade deals with both countries if they continued their military hostilities - a claim he has made repeatedly since May.
