Monitoring Desk: US President Donald Trump on Friday said that the conflict of Kashmir has been going on for 1,000 years, and they’ve had that fight for 1,000 years in Kashmir they India-Pakistan) will get it figured out one way or the other.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Rome, Trump said, “I am very close to India and I’m very close to Pakistan, as you know. And they’ve had that fight for 1,000 years in Kashmir. Kashmir has been going on for 1,000 years, probably longer than that. And it was a bad one yesterday, though; that was a bad one. Over 30 people.”
Asked if he intended to mediate or intervene in the crisis, Trump responded, “There have been tensions on that border for 1,500 years. So, you know, the same as it’s been, but they’ll get it figured out one way or the other. I’m sure… I know both leaders. There is great tension between Pakistan and India. But there always has been.”
President Trump, for the first time, gave a clear and balanced statement stating that “Kashmir” has been the core of the problem between Pakistan and India for thousands of years. His statement also indicates that Indian’s rhetoric is losing its charisma of blaming Pakistan for Kashmir tension because the world has seen Indian’s involvement in trans-continental terrorism as it has been involved in killing Sikhs in America, Canada, and in Europe.
