American State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce said on Tuesday that the relationship of the United States with both India and Pakistan “remains unchanged,” adding that the “diplomats are committed to both nations.” The US’ remarks have come days after Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir threatened nuclear attack in the event of an existential threat.
Speaking at the State Department briefing, Tammy Bruce referred to the India-Pakistan conflict following the Pahalgam terror attack said, “We had an experience with Pakistan and India, when there was a conflict, that could have developed into something quite horrible.”
“There was immediate concern and movement with the Vice President JD Vance, the President Donald Trump and the Secretary of State Marco Rubio in addressing the nature of what was happening,” she said as she emphasised the success of diplomatic efforts in preventing the conflict from escalating.
“We described the nature of the phone calls and the work we did to stop the attacks, bringing the parties together to create something enduring. It’s a very proud moment that Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance and the top leaders in this nation were involved in stopping that potential catastrophe,” Tammy Bruce said.
