India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s offer to mediate between India and Pakistan, according to Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri. Indian media reported that Modi had a telephone conversation with President Trump on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Canada. “Prime Minister Modi made it clear to President Trump that during the recent India-Pakistan conflict, at no time, on any level, were issues such as an India-U.S. trade deal or U.S. mediation between India and Pakistan discussed,” Misri noted. “The decision to halt military action was reached directly between India and Pakistan through existing military communication channels.”
