WE ARE WITH INDIA, SAYS AMERICA

US Defense Ministry Pentagon Press Secretary Pat Ryder said, “China is using provocative tactics. America saw that China is mobilizing its army near LAC. Here it has also prepared military infrastructure. India is trying to defuse the situation and America supports it. We will decide the security of our friendly countries. If any country tries to change the border on the strength of force and unilaterally, then America is strictly against it.”
