Srinagar: Sixteen hours after his surprise announcement about a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, US President Donald Trump has now offered to work with the two neighbours to find a solution to the Kashmir issue.
“I am very proud of the strong and unwaveringly powerful leadership of India and Pakistan for having the strength, wisdom, and fortitude to fully know and understand that it was time to stop the current aggression that could have led to the death and destruction of so many, and so much. Millions of good and innocent people could have died! Your legacy is greatly enhanced by your brave actions,” the US President posted on Truth Social, a social media platform he owns.
“I am proud that the USA was able to help you arrive at this historic and heroic decision. While not even discussed, I am going to increase trade, substantially, with both of these great Nations. Additionally, I will work with you both to see if, after a “thousand years,” a solution can be arrived at concerning Kashmir. God Bless the leadership of India and Pakistan on a job well done,” the US President added.
It remains interesting to see as to how India and Pakistan respond to the offer as Kashmir continues to remain a flashpoint in the relations between the two neighbouring countries for almost eight decades now.
