US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said on Thursday (local time) that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has the full support of US President Donald Trump and his administration in the nation’s fight against terrorism.
This comes as New Delhi seeks a strong response to the Pahalgam terror attack, to which New Delhi has alleged cross-border links.
She further said that the US is in regular contact with both India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack, in which Pakistan-based terrorists killed 26 innocent people, mostly tourists.
“We are monitoring closely. Yesterday, the Secretary spoke with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. As President Donald Trump articulated to Prime Minister Modi last week, the United States stands strong with India
against terrorism, and Prime Minister Modi has our full support,” she said.
“The Secretary encouraged both countries to work toward a responsible solution that maintains a responsible resolution that maintains long-term peace and regional stability in South Asia. We continue to be in touch with the governments of both countries, as I mentioned, at multiple levels,” she added.
