Amid the ongoing standoff between India and China along the border, the US has come out in India’s support. The two-nation have a ‘special relationship’ with each other.
Defence and strategic ties between India and the US have been on an upswing in the last few years. The deal with America for the procurement of Apache and Chinook attack helicopters has strengthened bilateral defence cooperation.
