Trump said he has so far intervened to stop eight wars globally, describing the Pakistan-India standoff as one of the most dangerous due to the nuclear capabilities of both countries.

During his remarks, Trump spoke positively about Pakistan’s military leadership, referring to Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir as a respected and capable figure.

In addition to regional security issues, Trump used the press conference to outline his vision for strengthening US naval power. He announced plans to build a new class of highly advanced naval vessels, which he described as significantly more powerful than existing ships. He also revealed that the United States is currently constructing 15 submarines, claiming that American submarine technology is at least 15 years ahead of competitors such as China and Russia.

The former president also highlighted efforts to revive the American shipbuilding industry. He said that new projects, including a vessel referred to as “Victory,” would strengthen national defense and create economic opportunities by restoring confidence in domestic shipyards.

He added that improvements to naval headquarters and overall military readiness have shifted global perceptions, asserting that countries which once mocked the United States now show renewed respect.
