Amid escalating India-Pakistan tensions, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance stated that the conflict is "fundamentally none of our business," emphasizing America's limited control over the situation. While expressing concern over potential nuclear escalation, Vance highlighted the U.S.'s role in encouraging de-escalation through diplomatic channels. He noted that the U.S. cannot compel either nation to cease hostilities but hopes for restraint to prevent broader conflict. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reinforced this stance by engaging in separate discussions with Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, urging both to de-escalate. The U.S. maintains a position of non-intervention, focusing on diplomatic efforts to mitigate the crisis.
