India chooses to stand firm against the US in trade negotiations!
India formally notified the US that it refuses to accept Trump's demand for India to purchase F-35 stealth fighters, and stated that India is not interested in US weapons and military equipment.
Additionally, India clearly stated its position in trade agreement negotiations. In addition to not purchasing weapons under US pressure, it will not accept demands that harm Indian farmers and small producers, and will not fully open the Indian market. India will only accept trade agreement terms that are in line with its own interests, such as purchasing energy products from the US that India needs.
Regarding possible sanctions and high tariffs from the US, Indian TV said that India is prepared and confident to face them. Historically, India was sanctioned by the US for manufacturing nuclear weapons, but the sanctions did not affect India's rapid development.
