India’s senior defence officials on Friday rejected a British media report claiming that New Delhi has paused its plans to procure several US defence systems in retaliation for President Donald Trump’s 50% tariffs.
Officials dismissed the report as “false and fabricated” and clarified that the various cases (deals) of procurement are being processed as per the extant procedures.
Earlier, Reuters reported India has paused its plans to procure several US defence systems in the backdrop of Trump’s tariff dispute with New Delhi.
