US President Donald Trump said on Friday that India and Pakistan will figure out relations between themselves.
This was as tensions soared between the two neighboring countries after an attack in India’s Kashmir region that was the worst in nearly two decades.
Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump cited historical conflict in the disputed border region, saying he knew both countries’ leaders, but did not answer when asked whether he would contact them.
“They’ll get it figured out one way or the other. There’s great tension between Pakistan and India, but there always has been,” he said.
