US President Donald Trump's efforts to help reduce the India-Pakistan tension is one of the five "big takeaways" from the just-concluded G7 Summit in France, according to the White House.

President Trump returned home on Monday from the G7 Summit held in the southwestern French city of Biarritz from August 24 to 26.

In its daily round-up for Monday, the White House said, "The five big takeaways are: A message of unity, securing a billion-dollar trade deal, promoting the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), developing stronger trade with Europe and helping to reduce India-Pakistan tension."
Prime Minister Modi, flanked by President Trump, on Monday categorically rejected any scope for third party mediation on Kashmir, saying it was a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan, and "we don't want to trouble any third country."
