U.S bid to pacify angry India over Pak F-16 aid; Biden administration clarifies | Key Details

The U.S. plays defensive after infuriating India over F-16 assistance to Pakistan. The United States has issued a clarification as Joe Biden meets Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the G-20 summit. The U.S. State Department spokesperson Zed Tarar said the $450 million in F-16 assistance for Islamabad is “not monetary help.” In September, the Joe Biden administration approved the F-16 package for Pakistan, reversing an existing ban imposed in 2018 to do so. This move invited India’s ire, and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar even fired a “no one is fooled” barb at the U.S. Watch this report for full information.
