US President Donald Trump expressed concern over the rising tensions between India and Pakistan, calling the situation a “shame.” His remarks came shortly after India conducted airstrikes inside Pakistan, which responded by reportedly shooting down Indian jets. Speaking at the White House during the swearing-in ceremony of his special envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump said, “It’s a shame. We just heard about it as we were walking into the Oval Office.” He was the first world leader to comment on the escalating conflict.
