NEW DELHI: US Vice President JD Vance on Friday weighed in on the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, as India continues its anti-terror operations under ‘Operation Sindoor’. In an interview with Fox News, Vance said, "That's fundamentally none of our business."
When asked about the rising conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations, he said, "We're concerned about any time nuclear powers collide and have a major conflict what we've said."
He continued, "What Secretary Rubio said and certainly the President has said is we want this thing to de-escalate as quickly as possible. We can't control these countries though. Fundamentally India has its gripes with Pakistan."
Vance further added, "What we can do is try to encourage these folks to de-escalate a little bit. But we're not going to get involved in the middle of war. That's fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America's ability to control it."
Currently, India continues its fight against Pakistan-backed terrorism, under 'Operation Sindoor'. On Thursday, India responded strongly to Pakistan's drone attack across Jammu and Kashmir.
Vance recently visited India in April, marking his first trip to the country. He was accompanied by his family, including his Indian-origin wife, Usha Vance. His visit coincided with the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed the lives of 26 people.
