Arms Deal with India: US sees no threat to Pakistan

With the United States expected to authorize India's purchase of naval drones, a senior White House official cautioned yesterday that any U.S. military transfer to India would not represent a threat to its rival neighbor Pakistan.

The official spoke to reporters in advance of U.S. President Donald Trump's first meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, a White House visit that will include one-on-one talks and a working dinner.
