Reportedly there have been at least four mediation offers from US President Donald Trump in the last two months. Meanwhile on all four occasions, Donald Trump offered to act as a mediator, intervene or interlocutor on the Kashmir issue between india and pakistan and he has claimed that he has never failed as a mediator.
Furthermore his credentials as a mediator have not impressed india much. delhi has rejected all such proposals with Prime Minister Narendra himself saying that he would "not like to bother any country" over the Kashmir issue. Further on the other hand, pakistan's Prime Minister imran khan has been explicitly vocal about US mediation, preferably by Donald Trump over Kashmir.
Reportedly an "if" inserted by Donald Trump in his statements has proved to be powerful enough to allow all three countries to maintain their respective positions yet keep the Kashmir issue and india-pakistan tension at the centre of public discourse in india and pakistan, but a closer look at statements by Donald Trump suggests that he might already have been mediating, if not on the Kashmir issue, then between PM modi and his counterpart Imran Khan.
