Trump says U.S. will increase military sales to India, may provide stealth jets

President Trump said Thursday that the U.S. will increase its sales of military equipment to India, which could ultimately lead to the U.S. to provide the nation with the stealth jet it has long sought.

Speaking at a joint press conference with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mr. Trump did not provide more details, including the dollar amount of the increased sales.

“Starting this year, we will be increasing military sales to India by many billions of dollars. We are also paving the way to provide India with F-35 stealth fighters,” he said.
