As tension between India and Pakistan continues to escalate following Pakistan’s drone and missile attack on multiple areas, the United States has issued a fresh statement asking the two neighbouring countries to defuse the conflict at the earliest. Speaking on the prevailing tensions at the LoC, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that US President Donald Trump has expressed his desire for the situation to de-escalate as soon as possible.
On US efforts to mediate in the India-Pakistan conflict, Leavitt said, “This is something that the Secretary of State and now our NSA as well, Marco Rubio, has been involved in. The President has expressed that he wants this to de-escalate as quickly as possible.”
She added, “He (US President Trump) understands these two countries have been at odds with one another for decades, long before President Trump was here at the Oval Office. However, he has good relations with the leaders of both countries.”
“Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been in constant communication with the leaders of both countries, trying to bring this conflict to an end,” Leavitt said.
