US president Donald Trump has said he wants India and Pakistan to “stop now” and that “if I can do anything to help, I will.”
“It’s so terrible,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday. He said:
My position is I get along with both. I know both very well, and I want to see them work it out. I want to see them stop, and hopefully they can stop now.
What happens next is we are prepared for an all-out war. There is absolutely no doubt, because India is increasing the intensity, the stakes of this conflict. So… we can’t be caught with our guards down.
