The US and UK urged India to reconsider its demand for Canada to reduce its diplomatic presence in India and expressed concern after Canada withdrew 41 diplomats due to a dispute over the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen and Khalistani terrorist. The US State Department spokesperson, Matthew Miller, said they are worried about the departure of Canadian diplomats and called for cooperation in the ongoing investigation. Britain's Foreign Office also criticized the Indian government's decisions, citing the Vienna Convention. This marks a direct criticism by Washington and London of India in this case.
