After getting slapped with 25% tariff, India decides not to buy US-made F-35, know its cost and technical issues
Friday, 1 August 2025 () The US President pitched the sale of F-35 as the main basis for India-US cooperation and pressed visiting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to buy it in February. After Donald Trump slapped India with a 25% tariff, India has reportedly informed the US that it would not buy F-35.

India has reportedly declined a U.S. offer to buy F-35 stealth fighter jets, according to Bloomberg. The offer was made by President Trump during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Washington in February. Instead of purchasing American jets, India is prioritizing joint defense manufacturing initiatives and has shown greater interest in the Russian Su-57, especially after its debut at Aero India.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs downplayed Bloomberg’s report, confirming no formal talks on the F-35 have taken place yet. Meanwhile, the U.S. has slapped 25% tariffs on Indian imports due to a failed trade deal, escalating tensions. Trump also announced India would face a penalty over its continued defense ties with Russia. This deepening rift could impact U.S.-India defense cooperation and reshape future arms procurement.
