India-Pakistan Conflict: Days after claiming that he brokered a peace between India and Pakistan, United States President Donald Trump has now taken a U-turn on the issue. India has already rejected any such claim, saying that the talks were held between the Director Generals of Military Operations of the two countries only.

That’s a tough one. They’ve been fighting for a long time… It was really going to be escalating out of control,” he said.
