Trump claims Tariffs Made America Richest and Strongest Ever

By
US President Donald Trump
US President Donald Trump has claimed that tariffs and foreign investment are bringing trillions of dollars into the United States and have made the country the wealthiest and most powerful in its history.

In a statement on Truth Social, Trump reiterated his long-standing assertion that his tariff policies prevented between five and eight wars.

He said the stock market reached an all-time high for the 48th time in the past nine months, which he described as proof of the American economy’s strength.

Trump maintained that rising tariff revenues and foreign investment have significantly boosted national wealth and global influence.

On November 20, 2025, he claimed that he personally prevented a nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan by threatening both nations with massive trade penalties.

His remarks come months after Pakistan shot down seven Indian warplanes, including three Rafale aircraft, in May 2025.

Speaking at the Saudi Investment Conference in Washington, Trump said he warned New Delhi and Islamabad of crippling economic repercussions during a period of heightened tensions.

“You know, India, Pakistan, they were going to go at it with nuclear weapons. I said, that’s okay, but I’m putting a 350 percent tariff on each country, no more trade with the United States,” Trump said.

He added, “Come back to me and I’ll take it down, but I’m not going to have you guys shooting nuclear weapons at each other, killing millions, and having nuclear dust floating over Los Angeles.”

“They said, we don’t like that. I said, I don’t care if you like it or not," Trump said. “So I was all set. I told a 350 percent tariff to settle that war. If you, if you don’t, we’ll make a nice trade deal," he added.

“Now, no other president would have done that. Another guy would have, like Joe Biden doesn’t even know what countries we’re talking about. He wouldn’t have any idea. There’d be no tariffs on anything. Just the whole world would go to hell," Trump said.

“But no, I use tariffs to settle all these, not all of them. Five of the eight wars were settled because of the economy, because of trade, because of tariffs.

I’ll tell you what the Prime Minister of Pakistan (Shehbaz Sharif) called me," Trump said, further quoting him, “Thank you very much."

“He actually said, I saved millions. And he said in front of Susie, he said President Trump saved millions and millions of lives."

“And I got a call from Prime Minister Modi saying, we’re done. I said, you’re done with what? ‘We’re not going to go to war’. I said, Thank you very much. Let’s make a deal," Trump claimed.

“But I saved a lot of people, millions of people, on many other wars," he added.

Though India has consistently denied any third-party intervention, Pakistan has praised Trump on multiple occasions, claiming that he brokered the ceasefire during the May conflict.
