US Secretary of State Antony Blinken revealed the US has been closely consulting and coordinating with Canada regarding allegations that Indian government agents were behind the killing of a Khalistani terrorist on Canadian soil. While describing India as a vital partner, Blinken emphasized the investigation must proceed unimpeded and said it is critical India cooperates fully with Canadian authorities to ensure accountability. He expressed deep US concern over the alleged transnational repression, stressing the broader importance of addressing such issues beyond just this case. Blinken's remarks indicate the Biden administration is walking a diplomatic tightrope in balancing strategic ties with India and defending principles.
