India’s Ambassador to the United States (US), Harsh Vardhan Shringla has said that the US President Donald Trump has withdrawn his offer to mediate after a terse reaction from India to the suggestion, Tribune has reported.
“President Trump has made it very clear that his offer to mediate on Jammu and Kashmir is dependent on both India and Pakistan accepting it. Since India has not accepted the offer of mediation, he has made it clear that this is not on the table anymore,” Shringla said.
Trump had went on to suggest that Indian PM Narendra Modi had asked for his mediation to solve the issue. This had led to an almost immediate response from the Indian foreign office which had clarified India’s stand of the matter being discussed only bilaterally with Pakistan.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
