US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce has expressed hope that the Kashmir dispute might be resolved during President Donald Trump’s tenure in office.

 

During the weekly press briefing on Tuesday, a journalist posed a question: “After the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, President Trump offered to mediate on the Kashmir dispute. So, what kind of follow-up are we expecting? How the state department moves forward?" referring to the possibility of inviting the leadership of both countries or supporting the UN resolution on Kashmir.

 

In response, the spokesperson said that while she could not speak about President Trump’s intentions or plans, his actions are always “aimed at resolving long-standing international disputes.” 

 

“So, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that he’d want to manage something like that," Bruce added, stating that "he is and has been the only one to bring certain people to the table to have conversations that nobody thought were possible.”.

 

She called it "an interesting time," with the conflict nearing a possible resolution, and thanked "God, but also Secretary Rubio, President Trump, and the vice president."

 

Tammy Bruce asserted that this is "a time filled with hope.”

 

When the ceasefire was agreed, India and Pakistan were expected to meet at a neutral venue to sort out unresolved issues. However, there's been no clear progress, and all sides have stayed silent on what’s next.
