Trump’s Statement on India-Pakistan Tensions in Kashmir During First 100 Days of Presidency
In his first 100 days in office, President Donald Trump made headlines with a statement on the longstanding India-Pakistan conflict, specifically regarding the tensions in Kashmir. While speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One ahead of Pope Francis’s funeral, Trump expressed his closeness to both India and Pakistan.
“I am very close to India, and I’m very close to Pakistan,” Trump remarked, emphasizing the complexity of the situation. He went on to say, “They’ve had that fight for a thousand years in Kashmir. Kashmir has been going on for a thousand years, probably longer than that. That was a bad one,” referring to the terrorist attack that had recently occurred.
Trump’s comments drew attention to the deep-rooted history of the Kashmir dispute, which has been a source of tension between India and Pakistan for decades. His words highlight his diplomatic approach to both countries, offering an understanding of the prolonged conflict while acknowledging the challenges both nations face.

“Putin does not want to stop war”
US President Donald Trump on April 26 criticised Russian President Vladimir Putin for escalating missile attacks on civilian areas in Ukraine, questioning whether Putin truly wants to end the war.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along. He has to be dealt with differently, through ‘Banking’ or ‘Secondary Sanctions?’
“I am committed to buying and owning Gaza”
Earlier in February, Donald Trump repeated his pledge that the US would take control of the Palestinian enclave.
“I’m committed to buying and owning Gaza. As far as us rebuilding it, we may give it to other states in the Middle East to build sections of it. Other people may do it through our auspices. But we’re committed to owning it, taking it, and making sure that Hamas doesn’t move back. There’s nothing to move back into. The place is a demolition site. The remainder will be demolished,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One as he travelled to the Super Bowl.

“They Don’t Want to Return to Gaza”: Trump Discusses Alternative Solutions
Donald Trump recently made a significant statement regarding the Gaza situation, claiming that many people displaced from Gaza have no desire to return. He explained, “They don’t want to return to Gaza. If we could give them a home in a safer area, the only reason they’re talking about returning to Gaza is that they don’t have an alternative.

Trump’s Bold Statement on Acquiring Greenland
In another controversial remark, Donald Trump reiterated his determination to annex Greenland, stating in March that he had engaged in real discussions about acquiring the Danish territory. “We’ll get Greenland.

It’s international security and strength.” Trump’s comments continue to raise questions about his approach to global diplomacy and territorial expansion.

The former president’s remarks continue to stir discussions around his self-assuredness and political persona.
