Sway is factor of domestic politics. US has sway not to over react precisely because it was a failed attempt. They can and would rather sweep dead brown American under rug than to undermine budding strategic condominium with India. Certainly they couldn't care less over dead brown Canadian. If India actually assassinated an American, on American soil no less, the US domestic politics would lose their shit at current US military tech transfers to India (like GE engines to HAL). I think US has the leverage to at least compel Modi to pretend to cooperate, or at least offer up fall guys like they did MBS over Khashoggi, if they were to put full weight behind Canada. Which they haven't, except to affirm Canadian findings, which they pretty much have to unless they want to blow up US/CAN relations. Current rhetorical support is meaningless.
