US Vice President JD Vance said America is encouraging both Pakistan and India to de-escalate tensions and act with calm and caution.
“We want this thing to de-escalate as quickly as possible. We can’t control these countries, though,” US Vice Presidnet JD Vance said in an interview on Fox News show “The Story with Martha MacCallum.”
“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,” JD Vance added.
“Our hope and our expectation is that this is not going to spiral into a broader regional war or, God forbid, a nuclear conflict,” JD Vance said on Thursday.
Washington has held regular talks with both in recent days, including on Thursday when Secretary of State Marco Rubio held calls with Pakistan’s prime minister and India’s foreign minister while urging them to de-escalate and have direct dialogue.
