WASHINGTON: US Vice President JD Vance stated Thursday that tensions between India and Pakistan should be reduced, but he also stated that a conflict between the two countries would be “none of our business” because the US cannot control its nuclear-armed neighbors.
“As soon as possible, we want this situation to defuse. However, we are powerless over these nations,” Vance stated during an interview on the news program “The Story with Martha.”
“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 and has nothing to do with America’s ability to control it,” he said.
Pakistan and India are key allies of Washington, which seeks to offset China’s growing power.
