India has paused its plans to purchase U.S. arms, including P8I aircraft, Stryker vehicles, and Javelin missiles, amid ongoing tariff disputes with the United States. The decision follows the imposition of tariffs by the Trump administration, which has led to increased tensions between the two countries. Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has canceled his planned visit to Washington as the situation remains unresolved. In response to the tariffs, there have been growing calls within India to boycott U.S.-based multinational companies such as McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Amazon, and Apple. These calls are supported by business executives and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's supporters, who are promoting anti-American sentiment and encouraging the public to prioritize Indian-made products. This movement draws parallels to South Korea's global brand success and reflects broader economic and diplomatic strains between India and the United States.
