India has put on hold negotiations to procure new U.S. weapons and aircraft, marking the first tangible fallout from President Donald Trump’s decision this week to double tariffs on Indian exports to 50%, according to three Indian officials cited by Reuters. Talks have been paused on a proposed purchase of six Boeing P-8I maritime patrol planes valued at about $3.6 billion, as well as on Stryker infantry combat vehicles and Javelin anti-tank missiles. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, who had been expected to travel to Washington in the coming weeks to announce the deals, has cancelled the trip, the officials said. New Delhi wants clarity on the future of U.S. trade policy before resuming the negotiations, the officials added, stressing that the acquisitions could still proceed once the tariff dispute is resolved. Broader military cooperation, including joint exercises and intelligence sharing, continues unchanged. Trump imposed the higher duties on 6 August, arguing that India’s purchases of discounted Russian oil were undermining efforts to isolate Moscow. Indian officials say they remain open to scaling back Russian crude imports but contend that the tariff move has made it politically harder to deepen defence ties with Washington.
