What's the story
United States Vice President JD Vance has said the ongoing India-Pakistan conflict is "fundamentally none of our business."
In a statement to Fox News, he said it was outside of America's ability to control it.
"What we can do is to urge these folks to de-escalate a little bit, but we are not going to get involved in a war that is fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America's ability to control it," Vance added.
