01 Mar, 2019

US President Donald Trump on Thursday said that there is "reasonably decent" news coming from India and Pakistan. "We have I think reasonably attractive news from Pakistan and India," said Trump at a news conference in Vietnam after a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
"They have been going at it. We were involved in trying to have them stop. We have some reasonably decent news. I think hopefully that [conflict] is going to be coming to an end. It's been going on for a long time." On Wednesday, the US and rest of the international community urged Pakistan and India to exercise restraint and refrain from escalating tensions. The statements came hours after Pakistan carried out air strikes and shot down two Indian jets, a day after Indian warplanes violated the Line of Control. US wants Pakistan and India to de-escalate tensions, avoid further military action.
