**Washington, D.C./New York** – Amidst escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, the United States has explicitly ruled out direct intervention in any potential conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations.
US Vice President JD Vance stated in a Fox News interview that the situation is primarily “none of our business,” emphasizing that the US does not control either nation. However, Vance added that the US will encourage both countries to de-escalate the situation and explore diplomatic solutions to prevent a potentially devastating nuclear conflict. He stressed the importance of dialogue and urged both sides to exercise restraint. “America isn’t telling India and Pakistan to disarm,” Vance said, “but dialogue is the only way forward. We will work through diplomatic channels to reduce tensions.”
Separately, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that President Trump has urged both India and Pakistan to de-escalate tensions swiftly following recent events. Leavitt confirmed that the President is aware of the long-standing disputes between the two countries and hopes for a rapid de-escalation.
