Trump Responds to India's Strikes on Pakistan: 'A Real Shame'

U.S. President Donald Trump has condemned the tensions between India and Pakistan, according to The Guardian.

The leader of the White House was questioned regarding India's missile attacks on areas under Pakistani control.

"What a pity. We only found out about it recently," he informed the reporters.

Trump said that "people knew something was going to happen based on the past" because both sides have been fighting "for many, many decades and centuries."

"I simply wish it concludes very swiftly," Trump said additionally.
