Indo-Pak Conflict News: As war erupted between India and Pakistan after Pakistani military attempted to target several bordering regions on the Indian site, drawing stern retaliatory action by the Indian Armed Forces, all eyes were on the first sign of commentary from the Donald Trump administration. Amidst the constant exchange of fire that began at around 9 pm on Thursday, with much of the Pakistani offensive either blocked or neutralised by the Indian defence forces, US Vice President JD Vance expressed America's neutral stance on the conflict. The United States cannot control war between India and Pakistan, asking them to "lay down their arms", Vance reportedly told Fox News.
Vance said that he and Trump are "encouraging Pakistan and India to de-escalate", stating that the Indo-Pak matter is "none of our business", according to excerpts from the interview reported by agencies. He also said that the US will not be getting involved in the middle of the Indo-Pak conflict.
However, the US Vice President expressed America's concern about a possible nuclear escalation.
"We are concerned about any time nuclear powers colliding and having a major conflict," he said.
"We want this thing to de-escalate as quickly as possible. We can't control these countries," Vance added.
He also said that the United States will be pursuing the matter through diplomatic channels.
