US President Donald Trump on Wednesday responded to the escalating situation between India and Pakistan and urged both the nations to step back and avoid further conflict.
He further offered to mediate between New Delhi and Islamabad saying, “if I can do anything to help, I will be there.”
“I want to see them stop. We get along with both countries very well, good relationships with both, and I want to see it stop. And if I can do anything to help, I will be there,” he said at at the White House.
Earlier in the day, Trump said that the two countries have a long history of conflict, going back decades. He said he hopes the situation settles down quickly.
Trump’s remarks came after India launched a series of targeted precision strikes under ‘Operation Sindoor’ against terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on the intervening night of Tuesday-Wednesday, almost a fortnight after the Pahalgam terror attack.
Within a tightly coordinated 24-minute window, India targeted 21 terror camps linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) across nine locations, four in Pakistan and five in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK). The targets were not just aimed at avenging the Pahalgam attack, but also targeting terror sites where other such attacks were planned.
The operation marks a significant escalation in India’s counter-terror strategy following the Pahalgam attack that claimed the lives of 26 civilians, including a Nepali national.
