seems like he was pushing them as part of some deal for a while but now they’re saying something like they won’t even entertain the idea anymore.

But no defense purchases are on the table, officials quoted in the report said, rejecting a key American ask. The F-35, one of the most advanced fighter jets in the world, has been a longstanding offer by the U.S. to India, seen as part of a broader push to counter China’s growing military presence in Asia. BT could not independently verify the claims made in the Bloomberg report.
