SCOOP: The State Dept. has recalled a cable to U.S. diplomats that instructed them to inform counterparts from India and the UAE their position of neutrality on Ukraine put them 'in Russia's camp.'
The State Department has recalled a cable to U.S. diplomats that instructed them to inform counterparts from India and the United Arab Emirates their position of neutrality on Ukraine put them "in Russia's camp," Axios has learned.The recall of the strongly worded cable indicates either a process error with a fabled and vital work product — or a policy dispute inside the U.S. government involving two key allies.
They are the primary ways of communicating internal policy decisions and instructions from "Main State" to diplomats posted abroad.The cable was blasted to U.S. embassies in the nearly 50 countries represented at the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday but recalled Tuesday afternoon.
"The language in question was never intended for clearance and the cable was released in error, which is why it was recalled," a State Department spokesperson said Wednesday.The cable, rated sensitive but unclassified, suggested some frank language for U.S. diplomats to use to try to persuade India and the UAE to change their positions.
