US President Donald Trump on Wednesday offered to mediate between Indian and China on their "raging border dispute", referring to the Asian neighbours' military standoff in Ladakh.

India and China troops have built up troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), particularly in Ladakh sector after clashes early this month that left soldiers on both sides injured.
