Trump Calls PM Modi After Pahalgam Terror Attack, Offers Full Support to India and Condemns Killing of Hindus

In a powerful show of solidarity, former U.S. President Donald Trump called Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi following the heart-wrenching terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam, where 26 innocent lives, mostly Hindu tourists, were brutally taken. The horrifying incident, which took place in the peaceful tourist town of South Kashmir, shook the entire nation and left families across India in mourning.

Trump, during the phone conversation, strongly condemned the “heinous and cowardly” attack and expressed deep sorrow over the loss of innocent lives. He reassured Prime Minister Modi that the United States stands firmly with India in its fight against terrorism. Trump emphasized that such acts of violence against civilians, particularly peaceful Hindu pilgrims and tourists, must be met with swift justice.

The attack occurred when heavily armed terrorists opened fire at a tourist gathering near Pahalgam town, targeting buses filled with families and pilgrims enjoying their summer break. It was the deadliest strike in the region since the Pulwama tragedy of 2019. Most of the victims were Hindus visiting from other states, further underlining the malicious intent behind the assault.

Trump’s heartfelt message was echoed by the White House, where Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the former President had been fully briefed by the National Security Advisor and was following the situation closely. “This type of targeted violence is a reminder of the evil that still threatens peace-loving people,” she stated. She added that Trump was eager to speak with PM Modi personally to convey his condolences and prayers for the Hindu victims and their grieving families.

Earlier, on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump had posted a message calling the attack “deeply disturbing” and reaffirmed his commitment to India. “The United States stands strong with India against terrorism. We pray for the souls of those lost and the recovery of the injured. Prime Minister Modi, and the incredible people of India, have our full support and deepest sympathies. Our hearts are with you all!” he wrote.

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, who is currently visiting India with his family, also expressed his sorrow. “Over the past few days, we have been overcome with the beauty of this country and its people. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they mourn this horrific attack,” he said.

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio also joined in condemning the attack. The U.S. State Department issued a strong statement saying, “Nothing can justify such a heinous act targeting tourists and civilians. We stand with India and demand justice.”

Back home, Prime Minister Modi, who was on an official visit to Saudi Arabia at the time, cut his trip short and returned to New Delhi immediately. The swift action and strong response from India’s leadership reflect the nation’s firm resolve not to let such acts go unpunished.

The tragedy in Pahalgam has sparked nationwide grief and outrage, especially within the Hindu community, which has once again become the target of terror in the Kashmir Valley. The incident underscores the urgent need for a united global stance against terrorism and for strong partnerships between democracies like India and the United States.

As India mourns its dead and prepares to bring the perpetrators to justice, the message from Donald Trump was clear: in the battle against terror, India will never stand alone.
