President Trump wants to see India-Pak tensions 'de-escalate as soon as possible': White House
As tensions between India and Pakistan are intensifying with the latter resorting to drone attacks on several Indian cities, the White House on Friday said US President Trump wants tensions between the two countries in the Indian sub-continent to de-escalate as soon as possible. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in contact with both countries.
On US efforts to mediate in the India-Pakistan conflict, White House Press Secretary Karoline 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. He 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."
