US President, Donald Trump has said that the recent Indian strikes against targets in Pakistan and Pakistani-controlled Kashmir were a “shame.”
Trump stated this while speaking to reporters at the White House.
According to him, he had just heard about the intensification of hostilities that had occurred in recent hours.
“We just heard about it as we were walking in the doors of the Oval. Just heard about it,” Trump said.
The operation, codenamed Operation Sindoor, came in a direct response to the Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 people dead, including 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen.
“I guess people knew something was going to happen based on a little bit of the past,” Trump added.
“They’ve been fighting for a long time. They have been fighting for many, many decades. And centuries, actually, if you think about it. I hope it ends very quickly.”
