New Delhi, May 09: Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, US Vice President JD Vance on Thursday ruled out any direct American intervention, stating that the ongoing conflict is “none of America’s business”.
In an interview with Fox News, Vance stressed that while the United States would encourage de-escalation through diplomacy, it would not get involved militarily.
“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 a war that’s fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America’s ability to control it,” the Vice President said.
Acknowledging the limits of US influence, Vance added, “America can’t tell the Indians to lay down their arms. We can’t tell the Pakistanis to lay down their arms. So we’re going to continue to pursue this thing through diplomatic channels”.
He also expressed concern about the potential for the conflict to expand. “Our hope and our expectation is that this is not going to spiral into a broader regional war or, God forbid, a nuclear conflict. Right now, we don’t think that’s going to happen,” Vance said
