US President Donald Trump has yet again responded to India China tensions. Going by the words of Trump, the United States is talking to both India and China to help them resolve their ongoing border tensions.
“It’s a very tough situation. We’re talking to India. We’re talking to China. They’ve got a big problem there,” Trump told reporters at the White House before boarding Marine 1 on his way to his first post-COVID19 election rally in Oklahoma.
“They’ve come to blows, and we’ll see what happens. We’ll try and help them out,” Trump said when asked about his assessment of the situation between India and China.
Over the past few days, the entire Trump Administration has rallied behind India against the illegitimate incursions of the Chinese Army into the Indian side of the Line of Actual Control in Eastern Ladakh.
The US called the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) a "rogue actor" and held it responsible for the violent face-off along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh where 20 Indian soldiers were killed and dozens injured earlier this week.
Slamming China, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has "escalated border tensions" in India, the world's most popular - populous democracy.
"But the CCP isn't just a rogue actor in its own neighborhood," he said, adding that if it was, the US might think differently about it.
"It impacts us all."
Warning that it was no longer enough to listen to what the CCP is saying, Pompeo, who was speaking at Virtual Copenhagen Democracy Summit, said that "we can see their actions".
