Trump earlier proposed to mediate amid rising tension between India and China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), the de-facto border between the two countries.
Indian and Chinese troops have been involved in as many as four unsavoury incidents in recent weeks alone. Troops from the two countries clashed and came to blows on 5 May near the Pangong Tso lake that falls partly in eastern Ladakh and partly in Tibet.
Meanwhile, massive protests rocked different cities across the US throughout Sunday over the May 25 killing of black man George Floyd by the 44-year old white police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
