President Trump met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and announced plans to significantly increase US military and energy sales to India. The agreement includes a potential sale of advanced F-35 fighter jets and a shift towards the US becoming India's top supplier of oil and gas.
President Trump said after meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday that India will increase its purchases of American oil and military hardware, culminating in India’s purchase of the advanced F-35 fighter jet.
America was India’s fifth-largest supplier of oil last year, and second in providing liquefied natural gas , following Qatar. “Today’s discussions did focus considerably on the possibility of more energy purchases. And it is entirely possible that these increased energy purchases will contribute to impacting the deficit between the two countries as well,” Misri said.
