"It is a very dangerous situation between India and Pakistan": Trump

"India is looking at something very strong. India just lost almost 50 people in the attack. I can understand that too," Trump added.

With almost every country condemning the Pulwama attack, US President Donald Trump has also made a statement on the issue that the current situation between India and Pakistan is 'very, very bad'. 

''Right now between Pakistan and India, there is a very, very bad situation. A very dangerous situation. We would like to see it hostilities stop. A lot of people were just killed. We want to see it just stop. We are very much involved in that process" said Trump.

He also hoped for the hostilities to end soon in the Kashmir Valley and said that the White House is in contact with both the countries.

"India is looking at something very strong. India just lost almost 50 people in the attack. I can understand that too," Trump added.

India has been exerting diplomatic pressure on Pakistan from every aspect possible demanding action against militants as the attack was claimed by Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), an Islamist extremist group based in Pakistan.

The United States in recent years has allied with India, seeing common interests with a fellow democracy that has been battling Islamist extremists.

The Trump administration last year cut off $300 million in military aid to Pakistan, saying that Islamabad has not done enough to fight extremists at home or close safe havens for militants in neighboring Afghanistan.
