Sam Pitroda, Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress, downplayed the India-China tensions, stating they are often exaggerated and result from a confrontational approach. He argued that collaboration, rather than confrontation, should be the focus, as ongoing hostility can create unnecessary enemies. In response, BJP spokespersons criticized Pitroda's stance, pointing out historical land concessions and alleging ties between Congress and China through a 2008 MOU. During a joint press conference, US President Trump expressed hope for improved US-China relations, and offered to mediate on India-China border disputes, emphasizing diplomatic cooperation to ease global conflicts, including Russia-Ukraine tensions.
