Donald Trump says ‘India-Pakistan tension to end soon, have reasonably decent news’
Donald Trump.
The United States president, Donald Trump, on Thursday, said he was hopeful that the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan will end soon.
This comes after Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Muhammed carried out the suicide attack on a CRPF convoy killing over 40 personnel, after which, India carried out air strikes on Jaish training camps deep inside Pakistan. Following this, Pakistani warplanes entered Indian airspace, shot down an Indian Air Force MiG-21 and captured its pilot, Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman. In the process, Pakistan also lost an F-16 fighter plane.
Trump said, “We have reasonably attractive news from Pakistan and India. They have been going at it and we have been involved trying to have them stop. We have some reasonably decent news. I think hopefully that it’s going to come to an end.”
Trump was speaking at a news conference in Hanoi, Vietnam after a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Speaking further about the escalating hostilities between both the countries, the US president said, this has “going on for decades,” and that “there has been a lot of dislike, unfortunately. So, we have been in the middle trying to help them out, see if there is some organization and peace. I think that is probably going to happen soon now.”
