Widespread condemnation pours in
The Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives, has sparked widespread condemnation from countries around the world. On April 23, US President Donald Trump spoke with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and strongly denounced the attack.
“President Donald Trump @realDonaldTrump @POTUS called PM @narendramodi and conveyed his deepest condolences at the loss of innocent lives in the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. President Trump strongly condemned the terror attack and expressed full support to India to bring to justice the perpetrators of this heinous attack.

‘A bad one’: Trump on terror attack
On Friday, Trump reacted to the terror attack, calling it a “bad one”.
“I am very close to India, and I’m very close to Pakistan, and they’ve had that fight for a thousand years in Kashmir. Kashmir has been going on for a thousand years, probably longer than that. That was a bad one (terrorist attack), Trump was quoted by ANI as saying.
“There have been tensions on that border for 1,500 years. It’s been the same, but I am sure they’ll figure it out one way or the other. I know both leaders. There’s great tension between Pakistan and India, but there always has been,” he added.
