US President Donald Trump on Friday repeated his offer to help over the “very nasty” India-China border situation, adding that Washington had been talking to both countries.
Responding to questions at the White House, he described the situation as “very nasty” and said: “We stand ready to help with respect to China and India. If we can do anything, we would love to get involved and help.”

Asked if China was bullying India, Trump said: “I hope not... but they are certainly going at it... much more strongly than a lot of people even understand.’’
A US government source told Reuters the US assessment is that neither China nor India are interested in pushing the dispute to the point of war.
