'Very nasty' situation along India-China border; ready to help ease tension: Trump
Washington: Describing the situation along the India-China border as "very nasty , US President Donald Trump has said that the Chinese are "going at it much more strongly" than a lot of people understand and he would "love to get involved and help" ease the tension.
Indian and Chinese troops are engaged in a bitter standoff in multiple places in eastern Ladakh for four months. Tensions flared up again in the region after China unsuccessfully attempted to occupy Indian territory in the southern bank of the Pangong lake six days ago when the two sides were engaged in diplomatic and military talks to resolve the border row.
"While we're at it, we're talking about China and India are going at it pretty good on the border, as you know. It's been very nasty, Trump told reporters on Friday at a White House news conference in response to a question on Indian-Americans and the US-India relationship.
Trump reiterated that he is talking to both India and China about the situation.
And we stand ready to help with respect to China and India. If we can do anything, we would love to get involved and help. And we are talking to both countries about that, he said.
His comments came on a day when Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held talks with his Chinese counterpart Gen. Wei Fenghe in Moscow with a focus on easing escalating border tension in eastern Ladakh. They met on the sidelines of a meeting of the defence ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.
When asked if China is bullying India, he said that he hoped it is not the case but noted that China is "certainly going at it".
I hope not... But they (China) are certainly going at it. They are going at it much more strongly than a lot of people even understand, Trump said in response to a question.

Odisha man allegedly murders wife; hangs himself to death in Anekal
Anekal: A recent incident of an Odisha-based man allegedly murdering his wife and later committing suicide by hanging himself has come to light late from Heelalige village under Suryanagar Police Station limits.
The deceased are identified as Deepanth Sabar (31) and his wife Manjula Sabar (27), who were reportedly staying in a rented house since three weeks ago and working in a private company in Bommasandra.
Police have said that the couple fought frequently, adding that Sabar might have murdered his wife Manjula in a fit of anger, before hanging himself to death at home.
Shivakumar, the owner of the house, confirmed that he had rented the house to the couple 20 days ago. On Thursday night, when Shivakumar’s mother Chowdamma checked near the house, she reportedly saw Manjula lying dead on a bed and immediately informed Suryanagar Police.
The probe team is learned to have broken the door open and entered the house, where they found that the husband too had died by hanging. The bodies of the couple were nearly decomposed, and the police have said that they duo might have died two days before.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Mallesh Gowda and Inspector Sanjeev Mahajan reportedly inspected the crime scene.
Sabar is said to have recorded a video of himself sitting crying beside his wife’s corpse. A check of his mobile phone matter shows that he committed suicide soon after. Sabar is also learned to have left behind a death note in Odia.
Sabar and Manjula’s bodies have been handed over to their family members after conducting the post-mortem test at the government hospital.
A police case has been registered and further investigation is underway.
(Assistance for overcoming suicidal thoughts is available on the state’s health helpline 104, Tele-MANAS 14416.)
