Not only do India deny Trump's version of events, but the fact India and the US now have "tension" in trade talks while Pakistan nominate Trump for a Nobel prize is enough insight to make a call here, man.
Trump probably was involved and as usual dealt primarily with one party who are delighted while alienating the other, stupidly.
The supposed award nomination from Pakistan (lol) should be an alarm bell.
Pakistan has spent about a billion the past two years on f16s.
The military industry dictates a lot of political plays lol.
Indian and usa tensions arent new. I mean when your maintaining pakistani jets they gotta be miffed.
Expecially when you then try to sell them a newer version to combat the ones you sold pakistan lol. Ahh usa
Its not just a trump thing... its a us thing. The bobbleheads make no difference.
In a notable policy shift, the
Trump administration has authorised $397 million to Pakistan for maintaining its F-16 fighter jet fleet. The funds will be used strictly for counter-terrorism operations under a US-monitored programme to ensure they are not deployed against India, according to a Reuters report.
Trump’s stance on Pakistan’s security aid has seen stark reversals.
In his first tenure, he halted security assistance to Islamabad in 2018, citing insufficient action against terrorism. The Biden administration later overturned this decision, approving $450 million in September 2022 to sustain Pakistan’s F-16 fleet.
add in india reliance on russian oil and the sanctions that usa has placed has been screwing them for sometime.
They bent em over a barrell well. But india is now playing the game and buying from the us like theyve been forced to.
But no one would be happy at usa for pulling its cartel shit again on em

In April, India imported 326,000 barrels of U.S. crude daily, which represented a solid 34% increase from March, Vortexa data cited by media
showed. The monthly growth, however, was weaker than the rate booked in March. In that month, India's imports of U.S. crude
rose by a whopping 67% from February to 244,000 barrels daily. The ramp-up, besides a means of appeasing President Trump, is also a way to diversify supply of the commodity, according to analysts
