**New York, April 26, 2025** – U.S. President Donald Trump offered a measured response to the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, stating that tensions between India and Pakistan are longstanding and that the two nations will resolve the issue “one way or the other.”
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Rome, President Trump acknowledged the April 22nd attack, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians, mostly tourists. He noted the long history of conflict between India and Pakistan, stating that tensions have existed “for 1,500 years.” While expressing concern over the violence, he expressed confidence in the ability of both nations to find a resolution. The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for the attack, which is the deadliest in the Kashmir Valley since the 2019 Pulwama attack. President Trump did not indicate whether he would be directly intervening in the matter.
