US President Donald Trump did not mention Kashmir in his address at the 'Howdy Modi!' event in Houston, even though he mentioned border security and recognised India's right like America's to protect its borders.
"Both India and the United States also understand that to keep our communities safe, we must protect our borders," the President said during his address at the NRG Stadium.
The comment holds importance as India recently abrogated Article 370 which accorded special status to Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan has tried raking up the matter internationally, even as India has reiterated time and again that its move in J&K is entirely a matter of its internal affairs. (Photo: PTI)
