In his first reaction to India’s Operation Sindoor strikes on Pakistan, President Donald Trump said he hopes ‘it ends very quickly’.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Trump was asked if he had a reaction to the latest attack.

“It’s a shame. We just heard about it as we were walking in the doors of the oval. Just heard about it. I guess people knew something was going to happen based on a little bit of the past. They’ve been fighting for a long time. They’ve been fighting for many, many decades. And centuries, actually, if you think about it. I hope it ends very quickly,” the US president said.
