U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has expressed concern over the growing tension between Canada and India, following allegations made by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that India was involved in the murder of a Canadian citizen. Trudeau accused the Indian government of being involved in the killing of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Canada expelled a senior diplomat from India and issued a travel advisory, while India denied involvement and expelled a senior diplomat from Canada. The U.S. is coordinating with Canada on the investigation and Blinken emphasized the importance of accountability and international rules-based order. The impact on U.S.-India relations is unclear.
