Earlier, Donald Trump had said that if elected, he’d like to mediate between India and Pakistan because the region was a “very, very hot tinderbox”.

But like the Obama administration, Trump also said that he would only mediate if both countries asked him to do so.

Donald Trump, riding a wave of populist resentment, defeated Hillary Clinton in the race to become the 45th president of the United States.

Trump secured at least 290 electoral votes, securing more than the 270 he needed to succeed Barack Obama.
