After Raucous Welcome in India, Trump Clinches $3 Billion Military Equipment Sale
NEW DELHI (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that India will buy $3 billion worth of military equipment, including attack helicopters, as the two countries deepen defense and commercial ties in an attempt to balance the weight of China in the region.
India and the United States were also making progress on a big trade deal, Trump said. Negotiators from the two sides have wrangled for months to narrow differences on farm goods, medical devices, digital trade and new tariffs.
Story continues below advertisementTrump was accorded a massive reception in Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state on Monday, with more than 100,000 people filling into a cricket stadium for a “Namaste Trump” rally.
On Tuesday, Trump sat down for one-on-one talks with Modi followed by delegation-level meetings to try and move forward on issues that have divided them, mainly the festering trade dispute.
After those meetings, Trump said his visit had been productive with the conclusion of deals to buy helicopters for the Indian military. India is buying 24 SeaHawk helicopters from Lockheed Martin equipped with Hellfire missiles worth $2.6 billion and also plans a follow-on order for six Apache helicopters.
India is modernizing its military to narrow the gap with China and has increasingly turned to the United States over traditional supplier, Russia.

Well Done Trump & Modi, I am sure that India will want to buy some missile defense systems from the US in the near future.

Trump Seals $3 Billion Military Equipment Sale in India
BY SIMON KENT 25 Feb 2020
India will buy $3 billion worth of military equipment, including attack helicopters, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed Tuesday, in further evidence of deepening ties between the two countries acting as a counterbalance to the rising weight of China in the region.
(Trump is decoupling away from China and doing a triangulation…)
India and the United States were also making progress on a big trade deal, Reuters reports. Negotiators from the two sides are working to narrow differences on farm goods, medical devices, digital trade and new tariffs.
Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the growing defense and commercial ties between the world’s two largest democracies even as they acknowledged that a trade deal between them remains some way off.
Trump said he was “optimistic” a trade pact could be reached eventually, and claimed ties between the U.S. and India had reached historic strength.

India is foolish to trust or buy from America. America has had wishy washy policy and often denied arms when needed and worse USA has been giving arms to terroristan who happily con American dumb “policy” makers and pretend to be fighting “terror” while funding , arming jihadis who kill indians and afgans.
why should you care ? Right ? because they kill american soldiers too ! Can you get Dumber than

Excellent points. I believe Nixon supported the Paki bastards when India went to war w/the f’ing muslums over their genocide of Hindus in Bangladesh. The Paki bastards harbored Osama Bin Ladin. It might be good for India to develop hypersonic, nuclear tipped, MIRV’d, ICBM’s because the atheist West isn’t has all the backbone of a wet noodle when it comes to f’ing muslums and islum.

Afghanistain is 99.999999999% f’ing muslum. There is no evidence that Hindus or Buddhists ever resided in Afghanistain because the f’ing muslums there have razed every Hindu or Buddhist temple that ever was there to the ground.

Trump is making sure India is well armed to defend itself from Islam.
Trade deficits with India are huge and yet to be worked out.
Being against Islam is the only thing we have in common with India.
India is just a U.S. source for cheap labor VISAS. Yes they send money home and pump up his ecomony… Sound familiar?

Since Russia is pretty much in China’s pocket and their pocket puppet these days, might be wise to shop around else where. Consumer beware.

I am delighted for you, you have a worthy leader. And I’m ashamed of our “leader” who made a monumental fool of himself and our country when he was there.
