New Delhi: US President Donald Trump on Monday told the media that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has the Kashmir issue under control and expressed hope that India and Pakistan could do something good to resolve the issue, as PM Modi also categorically rejected any third party interference on the subject.

Trump and Prime Minister Modi were addressing a joint press conference ahead of their bilateral talks on the sidelines of G7 Summit in French town of Biarritz. This is also PM Modi’s first meeting with US President after coming back to power.

In their first face to face interaction after Trump made mediation claims about Kashmir, PM Modi asserted that Kashmir is one among the many bilateral issues between India and Pakistan and denied scope of any third country mediation on the issue.

“When asked about US’ take on Kashmir issue, Trump said: “We spoke last night about Kashmir and Prime Minister really feels he has it under control. They speak with Pakistan and I'm sure that they will be able to do something that will be very good,” said Trump taking a different tone on his previous offer of mediation.

When asked about Kashmir, PM Modi said that all issues between India and Pakistan are bilateral and India doesn’t want to give pain to any third country for its bilateral issues.
