Trump says India, Pakistan will sort out tensions

India and Pakistan will figure out relations between themselves, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday as tensions soared between the two neighboring countries after an attack in India's Kashmir region that was the worst in nearly two decades.



Trump, speaking to reporters on Air Force One, cited historical conflict in the disputed border region and said he knew both countries' leaders, but did not answer when asked whether he would contact them.



"They'll get it figured out one way or the other," he said as he traveled aboard his plane. "There's great tension between Pakistan and India, but there always has been."



On Tuesday, 26 men were killed at a tourist site in Kashmir, shot dead in a meadow. India has said there were Pakistani elements to the attack, a claim Islamabad denies.



Both India and Pakistan have claimed the region of Kashmir, and have fought two wars over the area.
