In a joint address to media persons with Pakistan's Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan, President of the United States (US) Donald Trump on Monday (23 September) slammed a Pakistan based journalist for his line of ‘questioning’.
Putting down a journalist who had impressed upon President Trump that India is an aggressor while Pakistan is a peacemaker in the respect of Kashmir issue, President Trump asked, "Where do you find reporters like these?"
Furthering, the irked President Trump said, "Are you from his (PM Khan) team? You are saying things that you think. Your's is not a question but a statement."
Also toeing the line with PM Modi's assertion that there was no room for third party mediation between India and Pakistan, President Trump said that he would be a great arbitrator, but only if both the countries would mutually agree for arbitration. He said, "If I can, I will certainly help."
A day ago, President Trump had also stood shoulder to shoulder with PM Modi at the 50,000 strong gathering of Indian Americans in Houston's NRG stadium where PM Modi had overtly slammed Pakistan for it's nosing into India's sovereign matters.

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?

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.
