The United States has again assured India on the F-16 fighter jet grant for Pakistan. A top American defence official said that the Joe Biden administration's green light for key spares for Pakistan's F-16 fighter jets 'is not designed as a message to India.' "The decision inside the US government around the F-16 issue was made, predicated on US interests associated with our defence partnership with Pakistan, which is primarily focused on counterterrorism and nuclear security," said Ely Ratner, Assistant Secretary of Defence (Indo-Pacific Security Affairs).
