India has paused plans to buy weapons and aircraft from the U.S., responding to President Trump's decision to double tariffs on Indian exports. A planned Washington visit by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has been canceled, stalling deals for Stryker combat vehicles, Javelin missiles, and Boeing P-8I aircraft. While no official cancellation has been issued, talks are on hold. India alleges unfair targeting, as Western nations continue trading with Russia. Despite diversifying its suppliers, India remains tied to Russian defense equipment due to long-standing military cooperation.
India has temporarily suspended its plans to purchase new weapons and aircraft from the United States. This move is seen as the country's first visible response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent decision to double tariffs on Indian exports, raising them to 50%, according to a Reuters report.
