US President Donald Trump calls Pahalgam terror attack ‘bad one’, declines intervention in Kashmir row

Following the terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people, US President Donald Trump called it a “bad one” but downplayed the rising tensions between India and Pakistan. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump insisted the two nations would resolve the Kashmir issue themselves. India has taken strong retaliatory measures, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and diplomatic downgrades. Pakistan, denying involvement, warned of consequences. Skirmishes have since erupted at the Line of Control, reviving long-standing hostilities.
