Vice President’s JD Vance’s pacifist remarks about India-Pakistan set off alarm bells at the White House—and forced the administration to intervene in the conflict.
As the two sides sparred with airstrikes, Vance told Fox News that the conflict was “fundamentally none of our business” and that all the United States could do was “encourage these folks to deescalate a little bit.” Those comments fueled fears inside the Trump administration that the conflict may spiral out of control, according to a report in The New York Times.
Less than 24 hours later, Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke to top officials in India and Pakistan—including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi—to urge them to end the war. The two then agreed to a ceasefire.
