US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has spoken to both Pakistani army chief Asim Munir and India’s Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar.
A handout says Rubio urged both sides to find ways to de-escalate the situation.
Rubio offered US assistance in starting “constructive talks in order to avoid future conflicts” on his call with Munir and – when talking to Jaishankar – called on both sides to reduce tensions.
