Pahalgam Terror Attack: A series of strong-worded statements issued by significant members in the US President Donald Trump camp, including US President Donald Trump himself, has added significant diplomatic pressure on Pakistan following the horrific terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam that claimed the lives of at least 28 people, most of them tourists. 

In a post on Truth Social, Trump voiced full support for India in response to the  Pahalgam Terror attack by Pakistan’s Lashkar.

“Deeply disturbing news out of Kashmir. The United States stands strong with India against Terrorism. We pray for the souls of those lost, and for the recovery of the injured. Prime Minister Modi, and the incredible people of India, have our full support and deepest sympathies. Our hearts are with you all!” 

Adding to the gravity, Secretary of State in the Trump administration Marco Rubio issued a concise yet powerful six-word declaration – ‘The United States stands with India’.

While strongly condemning the ghastly terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam, it stated, “Nothing can justify such a heinous act killing tourists and civilians. Our thoughts are with those who have lost their loved ones. We continue to monitor the situation and call for perpetrators to be held accountable.”
