Is it true?: No, there is no evidence of Trump making this statement.

• We ran the clip through two AI voice detectors, both of which found the audio element to be generated using Artificial Intelligence.

How do we know?: We looked for credible reports carrying Trump's statements using the keywords 'Trump Pakistan floods', but did not find any reports, videos, or releases to corroborate the claim made in the video.

• A reverse image search on the video led us to a YouTube video by Forbes, published in May 2025, which showed Trump talking about China.

• Since there was no evidence that he blamed India for Pakistan's floods, we ran parts of video through Hive Moderation's and Hiya's AI-generated content detection tools.

• Hive Moderation gave the audio section of the claim an 89.6 percent score of being likely to contain AI-generated or deepfake content.

It flagged the audio element as AI-generated.

• Similarly, Hiya's Deepfake Voice Detector gave the audio an authenticity score of eight out of 100, saying that the voice was "likely a deepfake."

It said the voice was a deepfake.

• Additionally, we came across an X post by the Press Information Bureau's (PIB) fact-checking wing, which called the video a deepfake.

• It noted that the video was "artificially altered using AI tools."

Conclusion: An AI-manipulated video of US President Donald Trump is being shared to falsely claim that it shows him holding India responsible for the floods in Pakistan.
