US President Donald Trump stirred controversy by claiming India and Pakistan have been fighting over Kashmir for "1,000 years" and have shared tense borders for "1,500 years." His remarks, made while departing for Pope Francis’s funeral in Vatican City, came amid escalated tensions following the Pahalgam terror attacks. Social media erupted in criticism, mocking Trump’s historical inaccuracies. Users on X called his comments "embarrassing" and sarcastically dubbed him an "expert" on Kashmir. Despite the backlash, Trump expressed confidence that India and Pakistan would eventually resolve their disputes. This isn’t the first time Trump has offered to mediate the Kashmir issue.
