US President Donald Trump has once again offered to mediate between Pakistan and India on the Kashmir dispute.
“If they [Pakistan and India] wanted somebody to intervene or to help them,” Trump responded to a question about his earlier offer to mediate the Kashmir issue, “I spoke with Pakistan about that, and I spoke, frankly, to India about it. But that’s been going on, that battle, for a long time.”
Trump was referring to his meeting last week with Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, where he had offered to help to resolve the Kashmir issue. However, India had rejected the offer making it clear that there can’t be any third-party intervention on the issue.
“Well, that’s up to — it’s really up to Prime Minister Modi. And I met with Prime Minister Khan; I got along great with — I think they’re a fantastic people, Khan and Modi. I mean, I would imagine they can get along very well,” he said.
Trump added, “If I can — if they wanted me to, I would certainly intervene.”
