The President wants to see this de-escalate as quickly as possible,” she said.Leavitt acknowledged the historical nature of the dispute whilst highlighting ongoing diplomatic efforts.“He understands these are two countries that have been at odds with one another for decades, long before President Trump was here in the Oval Office.

He has been in constant communication with the leaders of both countries, trying to bring this conflict to an end,” he said.
