Trump has spoken before
However, this is not the first time that President Trump has given his opinion on Kashmir. In August last year, Donald Trump said that if India wants, they are ready to mediate in the Kashmir case, but later they said that India and Pakistan should resolve the issue bilaterally. There was a lot of discussion on this issue and India strongly opposed it. India has been saying from the beginning that the Kashmir issue is bilateral with Pakistan and it does not like the interference of the third country on this.
Pakistan adamant
On one hand, India describes Kashmir as an internal issue, on the other hand Pakistan has been raising it on different forums in the world. In November last year, Prime Minister Imran Khan spoke to President Trump on the phone and cried the misery of Kashmir. Imran Khan emphasized that President Trump should continue his efforts for peaceful resolution of Kashmir issue. During this, he appreciated his offer of mediation on Kashmir. Simultaneously, Imran Khan informed President Trump about the current situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
