US President Donald Trump once again found himself at the receiving end of trolls after he mistakenly confused India with Iran, calling the latter a nuclear power. Speaking to reporters at the White House in Washington, the 79-year-old said tariffs helped him prevent a ‚nuclear war‘ between Pakistan and Iran. „Tariffs are a very important tool for our defence, for our national security. If we don‘t have tariffs, we‘re not going to have national security,” Trump said. He claimed he was negotiating a trade deal with Iran, with Pakistan also in line. Trump said he warned both countries of a 200% tariff, and within 24 hours, the war stopped. He credited his actions with saving millions of lives.
