India's Defence Ministry Denies Halting US Defense Talks Amidst Trade Tensions
Some news said India stopped talking to the US about buying weapons because the US put extra taxes on goods from India.
But the Indian government said these reports were wrong.
The new taxes are because the US doesn't like that India is buying oil from Russia.
India says it's still talking to the US about buying weapons.
The Defence Ministry refuted reports of paused defense talks with the US.
Reports claimed India halted talks on defense deals following new US tariffs.
The Ministry called these reports "false and fabricated".
The reports followed the US imposing an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods.
The US move is seen as a response to India's purchase of Russian oil.
