YORK: When expressing happiness and appreciation for US President Donald Trump’s third offer to address the Kashmir issue, care must be taken.
On July 22, 2019, during his first term, President Trump made the first verbal commitment to end the conflict in Kashmir. In the four months since he was elected president of the United States for the second time, no action has been taken, either diplomatically or verbally.
The US White House still has the recordings of President Trump’s public pledges to settle the Kashmir problem.
In an interview with this correspondent on July 22, 2019, when the then-prime minister of Pakistan was in town, Trump initially pledged to arbitrate the Kashmir problem.
