US working on jet engine deal with India ahead of Narendra Modi's visit: RO Khanna
New Delhi: Congressman RO Khanna has said the US wants to make sure the GE Engines deal with India is done so that they don’t lose out to Europe.
Speaking to ANI, Khanna said India has realised that the Soviet military equipment doesn’t work as well and the Soviet Union is moving towards China.
“And the first thing is to make sure that deal gets done, hopefully before the Prime Minister’s (Narendra Modi) visit. And we are working on that," he said.
“We also are working to ensure that the Prime Minister gets to speak to the United States Congress. The co-chairs will be requesting the speaker to issue that invitation,” he added.
“We need to be stronger on defence, and this is a key time,” he said.
He further added, “The defence deliverable on the jet engines is critical.”
