US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said India and the US have expanded their defence cooperation with agreements for New Delhi to purchase more than USD 3 billion of advanced American military equipment, including Apache and MH-60 Romeo helicopters -- the finest in the world.
After extensive talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during which strategic issues, including trade ties, counter-terror and energy cooperation were discussed, Trump at a joint press meet with Modi said they affirmed the two countries' commitment to protect their citizens from radical Islamic terrorism.
"In this effort, the US is also working productively with Pakistan to confront terrorists who operate on its soil," Trump said.
The US president said,"earlier, today we expanded our defence cooperation with agreements for India to purchase more than USD 3 billion of advanced American military equipment, including Apache and MH-60 Romeo helicopters -- the finest in the world. These deals will enhance our joint defence capabilities as our militaries continue to train and operate side by side."
