Trump calls Pakistan, India to de escalate

US President Donald Trump has called for India and Pakistan to halt their fighting immediately, and offered to help end the worst violence between the nuclear-armed countries in two decades, AFP reports.

“It’s so terrible,” Trump said at the White House. “I get along with both, I know both very well, and I want to see them work it out. I want to see them stop.

“They’ve gone tit-for-tat, so hopefully they can stop now.

“We get along with both countries very well, good relationships with both, and I want to see it stop,” Trump said in the Oval Office.

“And if I can do anything to help, I will be there.”
