Vice President JD Vance contended that former national security adviser Mike Waltz being nominated to become the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations was a “promotion” and was unrelated to Waltz’s instigation of so-called Signalgate.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on Thursday Washington hoped Pakistan would cooperate with India to hunt down Pakistan-based militants, and that India's response to the recent Islamist militant attack in India-administered Kashmir does not lead to a broader regional conflict.

The US vice-president urged Islamabad to cooperate with New Delhi in punishing militants operating in its territory.
