Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, US President Donald Trump said if he could do anything to help, "I will be there" and wants the escalating conflict between the two countries to "stop".

"Oh it's so terrible. My position is I get along with both. I know both very well and I want to see them work it out. I want to see them stop and hopefully they can stop now. They have gone tit for tat so hopefully they can stop now. I know them both, we get along with both the countries very well.
