"The President will likely want to hear from Prime Minister Modi how he plans to reduce regional tensions and uphold respect for human rights for Kashmir, as part of India's role as the world's largest democracy," a senior US administration official said.
"The President is likely to stress the need for dialogue among all sides of the conflict and his hope that India would lift the communications and movement restrictions in Kashmir and exercise the utmost restraint in dealing with potential protests," the official said.
Mr. Trump has also asked Pakistan to "crackdown on groups on its territory that have attacked India in the past", senior US administration officials said.
Last week, Mr. Trump for the second time offered to mediate on Kashmir, after phone calls with both PM Modi and Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan. "Kashmir is a very complicated place. You have Hindus and you have the Muslims and I wouldn't say they get along so great," Mr. Trump told reporters in the White House. "I will do the best I can to meditate," he said. "...you have two counties that haven't gotten along well for a long time and frankly, it's a very explosive situation," he added.
