Trump and India’s Modi: Trying to be Friends

found online by Raymond

 
From Brij Khindaria at The Moderate Voice:

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s first meetings with President Donald Trump in Washington next week could reveal whether India will become an American military ally in all but name.

Trump approved the sale of $2 billion worth of surveillance drones to India ahead of the visit, making it a rare country receiving weapons equivalent to those supplied to NATO allies.

Modi is very keen to acquire weapons and advanced transfers of defense technologies to India to deter China. He also wants Trump to treat its archenemy Pakistan as a state sponsoring terrorism even if that is not openly stated to the world.
