Diplomacy Over War: US Urges India-Pakistan De-escalation

Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, the US emphasizes diplomacy over military involvement. Vice President J D Vance, alongside President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio, urge both nations to de-escalate and engage in dialogue. While not intervening directly, the US remains concerned about potential conflicts escalating into nuclear confrontations.

Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, the United States has maintained its stance of non-involvement in what it considers a matter outside its direct interests, according to Vice President J D Vance in a recent interview.

The US, while lacking control over Indian and Pakistani actions, aims to encourage de-escalation between these nuclear-armed neighbors. Vance stated that despite America's concerns about potential nuclear conflicts, it remains committed to diplomatic efforts rather than military intervention.

Engagement through dialogue is supported by US officials, including President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio. Conversations with Indian and Pakistani leadership stress de-escalation and accountability, while the US calls for a mutually responsible solution to the ongoing crisis.
