Trump announces F-35 fighter jet sale to India during briefing with Modi

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced plans to sell F-35 fighter jets to India during a joint briefing with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This marks a significant strengthening of military ties between the two nations. Previously, India had not been a buyer of these advanced jets. The sale reflects a shift in U.S. defense policy towards enhancing India's military capabilities amid regional tensions. In addition, Trump discussed new tariffs on countries imposing import duties on U.S. goods, indicating a more aggressive trade stance. This approach aims to address trade imbalances and protect American interests.
