The White House urged India to 'fully cooperate' with Canada's probe into a Sikh leader's killing but emphasized the 'strategic partnership' with New Delhi.

The row over Nijjar's killing cast a shadow over Trudeau's trip to India for the G20 summit earlier this month. Biden had utilized his own appearance to further boost his repertoire with Indian Prime Minister But Kirby dismissed any conjecture suggesting that the U.S. was not supportive of Canada's investigation.
