White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made the remarks as tensions escalated between India and Pakistan after India carried out strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) under ‘Operation Sindoor’ early Wednesday.
The strikes were in retaliation to the April 22 Pahalgam massacre, which claimed the lives of 26 people, mostly tourists.
“The President has expressed he wants to see this de-escalate as quickly as possible. He understands these are two countries that have been at odds with one another for decades, long before President Trump was here in the Oval Office,” Leavitt said.
“This is something that the Secretary of State and, of course, now our national security advisor as well, Marco Rubio, has been very much involved in,” she added.
