Washington, Dec 6 : US Vice President-elect Mike Pence has stated that Donald Trump could use his “extraordinary deal-making skills” to reduce tensions around the world and resolve problems, including the Kashmir issue.
Dunya News cited Pence as saying in an interview with the NBC Newsthat the new US administration intends to be “fully engaged” in South Asia and with India and Pakistan on issues such as Kashmir to promote peace and security in the region.
“I think in president-elect Donald Trump you’ve got someone, who is prepared to advance America’s interests here at home, to rebuild this economy, to fight for American jobs,” he said.
“But I think you’re also going to see an energetic leadership in the world, prepared to engage and to look for ways that he can bring those extraordinary deal-making skills to bear on lessening tensions and solving problems in the world,” he added.
Referring to recent tensions between India and Pakistan, Pence said Trump wanted to make sure that both countries “know that when this administration takes office, that we intend to be fully engaged in the region and fully engaged with both nations to advance peace and security”.
Pence further said there had “been great tension between India and Pakistan in recent days. It’s resulted in violence along the Kashmir region”.
During his conversations with leaders of India and Pakistan, Trump had expressed “a desire for continued US engagement on building the relationship with both of those countries”.—IANS
HOPE AMERICA WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEMS LIKE IT DID IN VIETNAM,COMBODIA,IRAQ,SYRIA.AFGHANISTAN PALESTINE AND ELSE WHERE
ALLAH SWT does wonder in His own way.
Though the Elected President spoke against Muslims in general, He did not fail to help Muslim world highlighting the truth that 9/11 Trade centre destruction was inside job.This was supported by many independent Americans.
The truth now must prevail under UNO charter. A carter of plebiscite was signed by then PM Lal Bahdur Sastri & Mr Ayub Khan at Tashkent
this must be honoured now peacefully to render peace in this area.
What do you think if Kashmir merges with Pakistan or gets so called Azadi, then Muslim living in India will be distributing sweets or lighting masjids. Ofcouse, there Muslim Azadi models which Trump can offer. First in our neighborhood, like Myanmar, Like Chechnya. .Putin gave them Azadi, or Solvania, or Turkish Kurds, Chinese Muslim. The problem seems to be only 4 districts of J&K. IF ARMY IS GIVEN ORDERS IT CAN DO ACTION AS IT DID IN HYDRABAD IN 1948. ROUND UP MUSLIM AND MARCH THEM TO THEIR BELOVED PAKISTAN. Muslim are delusional if they think Kashmiri muslim can leave and their will be no Hindu reaction. I think making India a secular nation and keeping muslim was the biggest mistake or tragedy after 1947.
