LIVE: Amid Trade War, US Signs 10-Year Defence Pact with India | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

Описание: Amid rising trade tensions, India and the United States have signed a major defence deal, a 10-year pact aimed at deepening military cooperation. In Kuala Lumpur, Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh met US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to seal the agreement. Calling it "a new era in defence ties," Singh said the partnership would boost India's security and strategic capabilities. Hegseth echoed the sentiment, saying, "This advances our defense partnership, a cornerstone for regional stability and deterrence. We're enhancing our coordination, info sharing, and tech cooperation. Our defense ties have never been stronger." The deal comes days after US President Donald Trump slapped a 50% tariff on India, accusing New Delhi of indirectly funding the Russia-Ukraine war even as Washington continues to support and arm Pakistan. Watch the full story on Vantage tonight.
