President Donald Trump spun a tale in front of reporters Monday that he was personally asked by India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, to mediate the Kashmir conflict with Pakistan. But a spokesman for Modi quickly issued a statement that “no such request has been made.”
The nonpartisan think tank The Council on Foreign Relations noted in a Monday blog post, headlined “The Trouble With Facts,” that India has always believed the conflict over the disputed region of Kashmir must be decided by India and Pakistan alone. So it “struck experts on South Asia as strange” that Modi had “personally requested U.S. mediation,” the statement added.
The Kashmir dispute is particularly fraught because both nations have nuclear weapons. Trump, who boasts he’s a master at making deals, has had little success in the international arena. Trump is seeking Pakistan’s help in the U.S. war in Afghanistan, hoping to persuade Islamabad to pressure the Afghan Taliban to agree to a ceasefire and negotiate with the Afghan government.
