'None of China's business': US on joint military drills with India near LAC

The US on Friday rejected China's opposition to an India-US joint military exercise near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Uttarakhand, asserting that it is "none of their business". Ambassador Elizabeth Jones, the newly-appointed US Charge d'Affaires to New Delhi, also said that Washington will support New Delhi's efforts to become more capable in dealing with regional security challenges and that Washington sees its ties with New Delhi as one of our "most consequential relationships".
