While speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, US President Donald Trump expressed confidence that India and Pakistan would eventually resolve their ongoing tensions. His remarks came amid heightened friction following a deadly attack in Indian-Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir—the worst in nearly two decades.

Trump, referencing the historical conflicts between the two nations, remarked that tensions had persisted for “1,500 years” and reiterated, “They’ll figure it out, one way or another.” Although he noted his close ties to both Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Trump did not confirm any immediate plans to contact either leader.

Meanwhile, US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce stated during a Thursday briefing that the United States was closely monitoring the situation but refrained from taking a stance on the status of Kashmir or Jammu, citing the fluidity of events.
