Original Note:
Thích Quảng Đức was protesting the treatment of Buddhist by the Diệm regime. The US warned they would publicly announce they no longer "associated" with the regime if Diệm did not meet the Buddhists’ five point manifesto. There was no mention of the US in the manifesto. https://nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/content/south-vietnamese-buddhists-initiate-fall-dictator-diem-1963
