New York, Sep 24: In a joint press meet with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, US President, Trump kept dodging a question from one of the journalists. The journalist made a 'statement' on the Kashmir issue, which made India the aggressor and Pakistan the peacemaker.
Trump, stated that the journalist was making a rhetorical statement rather than asking a question. He went ahead and asked Imran Khan, "Where do you find reporters like this? These guys are fantastic."
"Are you from his (Imran Khan’s) team? You are saying things that you think. Your's is not a question but a statement," Trump questioned the journalist.
Trump also made a statement where he claimed that Pakistan lived in a friendly neighbourhood. Further, into the meet, he also offered to mediate in the Kashmir issue. Although, India has repeatedly asserted that Kashmir is an 'internal matter', even when Pakistan has tried to rope in international support over the issue.
On the point of being a mediator, Trump claimed that he has cordial relation with Modi and Khan and continued to boast his trait of being a good arbitrator.
Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday, briefed the US lawmakers, scholars, human rights activists and the media on the ill effects of the abrogation of Article 370 by India on August 5.
