The White House has attacked Pakistan for providing “sanctuary” to any terrorist groups in their country. A US official told CCN: “The terrorist attack on February 14 on India was a demonstration that Pakistan’s continuing provision of sanctuary for any terrorist group is not acceptable. We need to see Pakistan taking concrete and sustained action to rein in the terrorist groups, mainly the Jaish-e-Mohammed and the Lashkar-e-Taiba in order to ensure that we don’t have re-escalation of tensions in the region.”
The official added any further terrorist attacks against India would be “extremely problematic” implying the US could threaten intervention in the conflict.
The US has promised its support to India following the car bombing attack on February 14 which killed 40 people.
US President Donald Trump said their support “strengthens our resolve to bolster counter-terrorism cooperation and coordination between the US and India.”
The US is also currently in trade talks with China which India is a key part of.
