India Freezes P-8I Patrol Aircraft Deal Amid US Trade Fallout
Wednesday, 6 August 2025 () India has condemned the United States’ decision to impose additional tariffs on Indian goods as "unjustified and unfair," according to official remarks by Randhir Jaiswal, spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs of India. “We have already clearly articulated our position on these matters, including the fact that our oil imports are based on market factors and undertaken with the primary goal of ensuring energy security for 1.4 billion Indians,” Jaiswal said, describing Washington’s actions as unjustified, unfair, and unreasonable. His comments were made in a post on social media platform X. “Such steps by the United States are deeply regrettable, especially as other nations are pursuing similar policies based on national interest,” Jaiswal emphasized. “India will take all necessary measures to protect its interests.” India Suspends Key Defense Deal Amid Tariff Tensions Amid growing tensions, India has reportedly suspended its planned purchase of six additional P-8I maritime patrol aircraft for the Indian Navy.
