'That was a bad one': US President Donald Trump reacts to Pahalgam terror attack

United States President Donald Trump on Friday said there have always been tensions between India and Pakistan and the two countries will figure it out between themselves one way or the other. "I am very close to India and I’m very close to Pakistan, as you know. And they’ve had that fight for a thousand years in Kashmir. Kashmir has been going on for a thousand years, probably longer than that. And it was a bad one yesterday, though, that was a bad one. Over 30 people," Trump said during a press gaggle with reporters aboard the Air Force One on the way to Rome, Italy.

The US President was asked about tensions between India and Pakistan in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed and if he would be talking to the leaders of the two nations.

There have been “tensions on that border for 1,500 years. So you know, the same as it’s been, but they’ll get it figured out one way or the other. I’m sure…I know both leaders. There is great tension between Pakistan and India. But there always has been," he said.
