"We can't control these countries, though. Fundamentally, India has its gripes with Pakistan, and Pakistan has responded to India. What we can do is to urge these folks to de-escalate a little bit, but we are not going to get involved in a war that is fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America's ability to control it," Vance added.
JD Vance's big statement comes a day after President Donald Trump called the escalating tensions between the two countries 'terrible'. When asked about his position, the 78-year-old added that he ‘gets along with both’.
“I know both very well, and I want to see them work it out, I want to see them stop. And hopefully they can stop now, they’ve gone tit-for-tat, so hopefully they can stop now,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
The US president also offered help to ‘stop’ the conflict. “But I know both, we get along with both countries very well, good relationships with both, and I want to see it stop. And if I can do anything to help, I will be there”. India launched its Operation Sindoor strikes on Pakistan overnight on Tuesday, hitting nine terror strikes as a response to the attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people.
