US President Donald Trump on Friday condemned the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, calling it a “bad one", and expressed hope that India and Pakistan would resolve their border tensions on their own.

The tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad escalated after the terror attack in Pahalgam killed 26 persons, mostly tourists, on April 22. The Resistance Front, a Pakistan-backed terror outfit, claimed responsibility for the attack.

“I am very close to India and I’m very close to Pakistan, as you know, and they’ve had that fight for a thousand years in Kashmir. Kashmir has been going on for a thousand years, probably longer than that, and it (terrorist attack) was a bad one yesterday, over 30 people," said Trump while talking to reporters aboard Air Force One.
