India-China Border Issue: A day after he offered to mediate on the ongoing border dispute between India and China, US President Donald Trump on Friday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not in a ‘good mood’ over the conflict between the two neighbouring countries. Trump said he talked to PM Modi and reiterated his offer to help the Asian nations resolve the issue.

“They have a big conflict India and China. Two countries with 1.4 billion people (each). Two countries with very powerful militaries. India is not happy and probably China is not happy,” Trump said during an interaction with reporters at the White House.

“I can tell you; I did speak to Prime Minister Modi. He is not in a good mood about what is going on with China,” the US President said when asked whether he was worried about the situation between India and China.

“I would do that (mediate). If they thought it would help” about “mediate or arbitrate, I would do that,” he added in response to a question over his tweet a day ago in which he had asserted that he was “ready, willing and able to mediate” between India and China.
