The US has denied reports of any expulsion of Indian diplomats. In a routine press briefing, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said that the US has nothing to do with the tension between Canada and India. Both countries are expelling each other’s diplomats, so it is their mutual affair.
Matthew Miller said that the US has spoken to India regarding the conspiracy to kill Sikh leader Gurpatunat Singh Pannu. The Indian investigation team has shared the information so far with the US authorities.
On the question of bringing Vikas Yadav, the main accused in the conspiracy to kill Gurpatwant Singh Panu K, to the US from India, Matthew Miller said that any decision in this regard will be taken by the US Department of Justice. India can be discussed in this regard.
A spokesperson for the US State Department said that Canada has shared some information with the US based on its investigation into the conspiracy to kill Gurptunat Singh Pannu. Guptawant Singh Pannu has US and Canadian citizenship.

It should be remembered that Vikas Yadav was arrested by the police in Delhi, the capital of India, last week. Vikas Yadav and Nikhil Gupta have been indicted by the US Department of Justice in the case of conspiracy to murder Gur Patwant Singh Pannu. The two hatch an assassination plot and attempt to hire a white American as a hitman. This person turned out to be a former agent of the American intelligence agencies, who brought the matter to the notice of the higher authorities.

**Interviewer:** Welcome to our segment today. We have with us international relations expert Dr. Sarah Thompson to discuss the recent developments involving the U.S., Canada, and India. Dr. Thompson, thank you for joining us.
**Dr. Thompson:** Thank you for having me!
**Interviewer:** We’ve just heard from U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller regarding the diplomatic tensions between Canada and India. Can you provide some context on why this situation has escalated?
**Dr. Thompson:** Certainly. The tension between Canada and India has its roots in various geopolitical issues, including India’s domestic policies and the actions of certain diaspora groups in Canada. Recently, accusations have been flying back and forth, particularly regarding the killing of a prominent Sikh activist in Canada, which India has vehemently denied involvement in. These allegations have strained relations significantly.
**Interviewer:** Miller emphasized that the U.S. is not involved in this diplomatic spat. Why is that important for the U.S. to clarify?
**Dr. Thompson:** It’s crucial for the U.S. to maintain a neutral stance, especially because it values its relationships with both countries. By clearly stating that it has no role in the expulsion of diplomats, the U.S. aims to prevent any unintended fallout that could impact its diplomatic positions. It highlights that this is a bilateral issue that they are not willing to mediate at this moment.
**Interviewer:** Given the current geopolitical climate, what potential implications could this situation have for U.S. foreign policy?
**Dr. Thompson:** The U.S. is likely observing how these tensions unfold, as they could influence its relationship with both Canada and India moving forward. Both countries are essential allies, and any sustained conflict might complicate economic ties or collaborative efforts in areas like security and climate change. The U.S. will probably focus on diplomatic back-channel efforts to ensure that the situation doesn’t escalate further.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Thompson, for your insights. It seems like we’ll need to keep an eye on how this develops and the broader implications for international relations.
**Dr. Thompson:** Absolutely, thank you for having me!
