Bangla Press Desk: US President Donald Trump said Tuesday he hoped clashes between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan end “very quickly,” after what he called New Delhi´s forces “shameful” cross-border strikes.
Islamabad has already informed the UN Security Council it reserves the right and will to retaliate.
“It’s a shame, we just heard about it,” Trump said at the White House referring to the Indian attacks.
The Indian government claimed it had hit “terrorist camps” on its western neighbour’s territory following a deadly attack on tourists in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
“I just hope it ends very quickly,” said Trump.
Meanwhile, the US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce, in a brief statement, said: “The US is keeping a close watch on the swiftly changing situation between Pakistan and India after the attacks by the Indian forces.”
India had been widely expected to respond militarily since gunmen shot dead 26 people in IIOJK.
