India canceled US F-35 jet deal after Donald Trump’s tariff.

Bloomberg quoted officials familiar with the case as saying that India is unlikely to buy defense equipment from the US. According to the report, India has informed the US that it is not interested in buying F-35 stealth fighter jets. Donald Trump proposed to sell F-35 to India during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to America in February this year. After this, talks were going on on F-35 Jet Deal.

The report, quoting the officials, claimed that the government does not want to buy F-35 fighter jet. Instead, the Narendra Modi government is more interested in partnership focused on design and construction of defense equipment domestically. However, this step of India is in its own interest. It has nothing to do with the threat of tariff. India is considering its options on its options.

However, the report also claimed that India is keen to keep bilateral trade talks back on track. India is considering to increase the purchase of natural gas from the US and increase the import of communication equipment and gold. However, the report made it clear that no defense purchase is being planned at the moment. It is clear that India is not interested at all about buying F-35. In such a situation, America will suffer a huge loss. Because if F-35 India had taken, America would have grossed a hefty, like France was in Rafael.
