In a recent post on Truth Social, former US President Donald Trump claimed that he successfully halted five out of eight wars by threatening to impose tariffs. According to Trump, the tariffs have generated trillions of dollars in revenue for the US, contributing to a thriving economy. The US stock market has reached an all-time high for the 48th time in nine months, a feat Trump attributes to the impact of tariffs. Trump's statement comes after he previously claimed to have brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan in May using a 350% tariff threat. However, India has not publicly confirmed Trump's involvement in the agreement. In contrast to his predecessor, Joe Biden, Trump boasted that the US has seen little inflation under his leadership, with the economy performing better than ever. Trump also targeted countries he believes have exploited the US through tariffs, claiming that the nation's strong economy is a result of his trade policies. Trump attributed the US's current status as the 'richest, strongest, and most respected' nation to the 2024 Presidential election date, November 5th, and the impact of tariffs, setting the stage for a contentious election season.
