The United States has approved a $93 million arms sale to India. This move could signal improving ties between the two nations after months of trade disputes, analysts say.
The deal includes Javelin anti-tank missiles and Excalibur precision-guided artillery rounds. It comes as both countries work to resolve a conflict over US tariffs. They are also negotiating a broader trade agreement.
Analysts suggest the weapons purchase could help ease trade tensions. It may also pave the way for a potential visit by US President Donald Trump to New Delhi next year.
