The White House said Thursday it supports a law enforcement investigation into the murder of a Sikh separatist in Canada but declined to wade into thorny diplomatic matters around the killing that involves India, a key ally in Asia.
“As soon as we heard from the Canadian prime minister publicly about the allegations, we went out publicly, ourselves, and expressed our deep concern about them, our support for a law enforcement process to get to the bottom of exactly what happened and to ensure that the perpetrators are held accountable,” Jake Sullivan, Mr. Biden’s national security adviser, said at a White House briefing.
“I’m not going to get into the substance of private diplomatic conversations, but we are in constant contact with our Canadian counterparts, we are consulting with them closely, we support the efforts that they are undertaking in this investigation and we have also been in touch with the Indian government as well,” he said.
