India has rejected US President Donald Trump’s offer to mediate in its border dispute with China, reaffirming its stance on bilateral resolution. After meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Trump expressed willingness to help resolve tensions between New Delhi and Beijing. However, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri dismissed third-party intervention, stating, “We have always adopted a bilateral approach.” Trump acknowledged ongoing skirmishes and China’s global influence while calling for global cooperation. India and China remain engaged in negotiations following the 2020 Galwan Valley clashes, with troop withdrawals and diplomatic talks continuing to ease tensions.
