It's more like a group of State Department mooks were tasked with finding out some way to Ungli India, and they happened across this news, and a light-bulb appeared over their heads, they then contacted their slaves in Canada and the rest is some history including very unnecessary drama all started by Kaneda and abetted by the rest of the Paanch Kaane.
I don't know what their goal is, most obvious is to break relations with Russia, stop buying oil from them etc but there could be something else the Burgers want from us.
All such drama is all for the sake of arm twisting the govt towards this goal.
