In a major development brewing for sometime now, India and US have officially suspended Defense Cooperation after Americans refused to give India high-end jet-engine technology.
At the heart of the Indo-US Strategic Partnership is what is known as the Defense Technology and Trade Initiative or DTTI. Under the 2012 DTTI, India and the US set up joint working groups for cooperation on aircraft carriers and jet engine technology, all of the 4 pathfinder projects have now been shutdown.
India and the United States have suspended cooperation on jet engine technology under the Defense Technology and Trade Initiative that seeks to deepen bilateral cooperation and identify opportunities for sharing of high-end defence technologies, a senior Pentagon official revealed on Thursday.
"The original project we have is suspended right now but we are talking about other potential engine working groups. We could not come to an understanding of what exportable technologies will be useful to India and we did run into a challenge in terms of US export controls," said Ellen Lord, the US under secretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment.
According to leaked information of a high-level meeting, the United States and India's failure to reach a long-expected trade deal on Sept. 24 has sparked fears of a full-fledged India US #TradeWar.

Last year, the GSP accounted for approximately $5 billion of the $83.2 billion in imports India sent to the US. In response, the government of India imposed retaliatory tariffs on 28 products originating or exported from the US with effect from 16th June this year.
