Washington:
US President Donald Trump hoped on Thursday that India and China would have the ability to resolve their present border disputes as he reiterated his supply to assist the 2 Asian giants on this regard.
“I know that China now, and India, are having difficulty, and very very substantial difficulty. And hopefully, they will be able to work that out,” Trump instructed reporters on the White House.
“If we can help, we would love to help,” he stated.
The president’s remarks on this regard come days after senior Indian and Chinese army commanders held talks geared toward resolving the months-long standoff alongside the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh. The two nations agreed to cease sending extra troops to their disputed border within the Himalayas.
Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reported that the border battle is pushing India to search for an uneven response: flexing its naval would possibly.
“India is intensifying joint naval maneuvers with the US and its allies while building new ships and setting up a network of coastal surveillance outposts that would allow New Delhi to keep an eye on the Indian Ocean”s maritime traffic,” the newspaper stated.
A “Grand Tamasha” podcast with senior fellow and director of the South Asia Program of Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, eminent American knowledgeable on India and South Asia Ashley Tellis stated the Trump administration has taken a really clear place of help for India on this disaster.
“And, of course, it is motivated in part by the opportunities to confront China on a grander scale, which sort of makes it part and parcel of the US”s own bilateral problems with China. But I think there is something more going on here. And the more is that I do not think the United States had the alternative of doing otherwise.
“That is, Chinese aggression on this occasion has been so blatant that the United States couldn’t stand by and both ignore it or not come to India”s defence,” stated Tellis, the Tata Chair for Strategic Affairs.
