U.S. President Donald Trump expressed disappointment over India’s missile strikes on Pakistani cities and parts of Azad Kashmir, describing the situation as regrettable and wishing for a swift resolution.
He made these remarks to reporters at the White House, following India’s military actions in response to the April 22 incident that resulted in 26 fatalities in Indian-administered Kashmir, which New Delhi attributed to Pakistan. Islamabad has categorically denied these claims.
Trump commented on the strikes, stating, ‘It’s a shame. We just learned about it as we entered the Oval Office.’ He acknowledged the long-standing conflict between the two nuclear nations and expressed hope for a quick end to the hostilities.
These statements were made during the swearing-in ceremony of Steve Witkoff as the U.S. special envoy to the Middle East.
