India Likely To Trigger US Sanctions Over Defense Deal With Russia: Report

A US Congressional Research Service (CRS) report has warned that clouds of the US sanctions can envelope India's agreement with Russia to acquire S-400 missile systems. Mentioning India’s eagerness in defence procurement, the report to US Congress urged to offset higher FDI caps in its defense sector. However, Russia earlier stated that the agreement is progressing unbothered by the US threat. Earlier in 2018, India had signed $5-billion deal to purchase five S-400 systems.
