It's not our business. It's between Pakistan and India. We more often than not, only make things worse. Stay out of it, Mr. Trump.
Agreed. Not everything is like a real estate transaction. India will never accept such mediation. So Trump is just wasting his time.
Who in their right mind actually believes Trump does have extraordinary deal making skills, all he has is a talent for self-promotion, he is a second rate businessman and dealmaker.US president-elect Donald Trump can use his “extraordinary deal-making skills” to reduce tensions around the world and resolve problems such as the Kashmir issue, vice president-elect Mike Pence has said.
In remarks that will not go down well with the leadership in New Delhi, Pence also said the new US administration intends to be “fully engaged” in South Asia and with India and Pakistan on issues such as Kashmir to promote peace and security.
Pence made the remarks when he was asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” programme whether Trump’s remarks during a recent phone conversation with Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif amounted to an offer to “be a mediator in deciding Kashmir”.
“I think in president-elect Donald Trump you’ve got someone who, who is prepared to advance America’s interests here at home, to rebuild this economy, to fight for American jobs,” he said.
“But I think you’re also going to see an energetic leadership in the world, prepared to engage and to look for ways that he can bring those extraordinary deal-making skills to bear on lessening tensions and solving problems in the world.”
Referring to recent tensions between India and Pakistan, Pence said Trump wanted to make sure that both countries “know that when this administration takes office, that we intend to be fully engaged in the region and fully engaged with both nations to advance peace and security”.
During Trump’s conversation with Sharif, which was widely mocked for its tone, the real estate mogul described the prime minister as a “terrific guy” and Pakistan as an “amazing” country. Trump also said he was “ready and willing to play any role that you want me to play to address and find solutions to the outstanding problems”, according to a Pakistani readout.
Pence further said there had “been great tension between India and Pakistan in recent days. It’s resulted in violence along the Kashmir region.” During his conversations with leaders of India and Pakistan, Trump expressed “a desire for continued US engagement on building the relationship with both of those countries”.
Asked if Trump’s transition team is using the expertise of the state department’s foreign service professionals and following protocol and international norms for phone calls with key world leaders, Pence said he and Trump were receiving “presidential daily briefs” and formal briefings on national security. “And, and I know the president-elect has been briefed as he’s been making these calls,” he added.
Trump has spoken to more than 50 leaders around the world and these were “courtesy conversations”, Pence said, adding they were “part and parcel of beginning the kinds of relationships that will allow our new president to advance America’s interests in the world”.

Just words, nobody is going to push for anything wrt Kashmir.I hope Indian democratically elected Hindu extremist Government doesn't mind being trumped by the US on Kashmir.
I thought India's influence was so strong in the world that no other country could mediate on nuclear flashpoint Kashmir, so what is this?
He inherited his fortune and his oldman gave him the necessary contacts in the real estate and political world to start off his business, not to mention the 14 million dollar loan lol even then he was a medium level real estate developer in Manhattan whilst many of his rivals built their businesses from scratch and had far, far more success, though non had the self promoting instincts of Donald.That talent for self promotion just propelled him into the white house, and second rate businessmen don't fly around in personal 757s.
