WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump<\/a> on Friday downplayed concerns over mounting tensions between India and Pakistan, saying the dispute between the nuclear-armed neighbors<\/a> will get “figured out, one way or another.”<\/p>\n

\n

Trump was asked aboard Air Force One about crumbling relations between India and Pakistan as the fallout deepens from a deadly attack on civilians by gunmen in Indian-administered Kashmir.<\/p>\n

“There have been tensions on that border for 1,500 years so, you know, it’s the same as it has been,” Trump told reporters.<\/p>\n

“But they’ll get it figured out, one way or another.”<\/p>\n

Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since their independence in 1947, with both claiming the territory in full but governing separate portions of it.<\/p>\n

Rebel groups have waged an insurgency in Indian-controlled Kashmir since 1989, demanding independence or a merger with Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Tensions have flared since Tuesday, when 26 male tourists were killed by gunmen in the Kashmir town of Pahalgam.<\/p>\n

Indian police say the three gunmen are members of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba group, a UN-designated terrorist organization.<\/p>\n

A day after the attack, New Delhi suspended a water-sharing treaty, announced the closure of the main land border crossing with Pakistan, downgraded diplomatic ties, and withdrew visas for Pakistanis.<\/p>\n

Denying any involvement, Islamabad called attempts to link Pakistan to the Pahalgam attack “frivolous” and vowed to respond to any Indian action.<\/p>\n

Officials said Friday that there was an overnight exchange of fire between Indian and Pakistani forces at the Line of Control.<\/p>\n

“There’s great tension between Pakistan and India but there always has been,” Trump said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
