The US expressed deep concern over Canadian PM Justin Trudeau's allegation linking Indian agents to a Khalistani leader's murder. White House spokesperson Adrienne Watson said the US remains in contact with Canada and wants a full investigation. This follows Canada expelling an Indian diplomat over the issue, which India rejected as baseless. Trudeau had raised the matter with Biden and UK PM Sunak. The US statement underscores tensions between India and Canada over the killing of Khalistan Tig Force leader Hardeep Singh Nijar. While asking for a thorough probe, the US stopped short of supporting Canada's accusations against Indian operatives.
