During a meeting in Washington D.C. on Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken raised concerns from Canada about India's alleged involvement in the killing of Canadian national Hardeep Singh Nijjar, according to a U.S. official. The discussion occurred as Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar visited the U.S. capital on a five-day trip. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had earlier said he expected Blinken to bring up Nijjar's killing with Jaishankar. The U.S. official stated Blinken urged India to cooperate with Canada's investigation into the matter, though the State Department's formal statement did not mention it.
