New Delhi: The US has said it is monitoring the situation between India and Pakistan closely, and hopes it ends quickly.

Taking to X, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US will continue to engage both Indian and Pakistani leadership towards a peaceful resolution.

“I am monitoring the situation between India and Pakistan closely. I echo @POTUS’s comments earlier today that this hopefully ends quickly,” Rubio said.

Speaking to reporters in the White House, US President Donald Trump, commenting on Operation Sindoor launched by the Indian armed forces, said: “It’s a shame, we just heard about it, just as we were walking into the doors of the Oval.

“I just heard about it; I guess we knew that something was going to happen, based on a little bit of the past,” he said, in reference to the Pahalgam terror attack.

“They’ve been fighting for a long time, they’ve been fighting for many, many decades… Now I just hope it ends very quickly,” the US President said.

President Trump was the first world leader to call up Prime Minister Narendra Modi and speak with him immediately after the April 22 Pahalgam attack, and condemned the terror attack and offered to help.
