President Donald Trump said the United States is willing to mediate between India and China to help them resolve their ongoing border dispute. His comments came on May 27 as tensions started escalating between the Indian and Chinese militaries along their disputed border two weeks ago.

“We have informed both India and China that the United States is ready, willing, and able to mediate or arbitrate their now raging border dispute. Thank you!” said Trump in a message on Twitter.
