US and Europe clash over UN role in Katanga
Disagreement grows between Washington and London on Congo policy as signs of rift appear. U.S. and British officials stress unity for Congo and oppose using force to unify Katanga, while debating how to pressure Tshombe toward negotiated settlement. NATO allies, Belgium and France, also back unity, with U.S. airlift expansion to sustain UN operations around Elisabethville.
