U.S. President Donald Trump has called the recent escalation between India and Pakistan a “shame”, responding to New Delhi’s missile strikes on Pakistani territory.
Speaking from the Oval Office during a swearing-in ceremony for Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump said he had just been briefed on the attacks. “It’s a shame,” he told reporters. “We just heard about it as we were walking in. I hope it ends very quickly.”
Trump acknowledged the long history of conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. “They’ve been fighting for many, many decades—centuries, actually, if you think about it,” he said.
The White House has not yet issued a formal statement. But Trump’s remarks mark the first official response from Washington since India announced Operation Sindoor, its missile campaign targeting what it claims are terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-controlled Kashmir.
Pakistan has denied those claims and says the strikes hit civilian areas, including a mosque in Bahawalpur where one child was killed. Islamabad has pledged a full response and has since closed its airspace for 48 hours.
