Trump on Monday said that he would love to play the role of “a mediator” on the “issue of Kashmir” between India and Pakistan. “Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked me to help with the Kashmir issue; I would love to be mediator,” Trump said.
Hours after this statement, MEA India lashed out at Trump.
