What is a mediator?

A mediator is a neutral third party who helps resolve a dispute between two or more other parties. They don't take sides or impose a solution, but facilitate communication and negotiation to help the parties reach their own agreement. President Trump's comment suggests he sees himself as a potential mediator in the Falklands dispute.
