Exemption of India from Sanctions under CAATSA Act – Under this Act, the US takes restrictive measures against arms purchases with its adversaries.
Washington, the whole world has been shocked by the attitude of the territorialist China. China is constantly exerting its influence on the small and weak neighboring country. As such, its regionalist policy against India continues to fail. Be it diplomacy or military action, India is giving a strong reply to China in every language. Meanwhile, America also has hope from India.
America has taken a big decision in favor of India to stop China. The US House of Representatives has given its approval to a proposal to amend the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Now US MPs have no objection to India buying arms from Russia. US MP Ro Khanna demanded that India be exempted from sanctions under the CAATSA Act.
On this occasion Ro Khanna said, America should stand with India keeping in mind the growing aggressive attitude of China. This amendment is extremely important and I am proud to say that it has passed with bipartisan support. Nothing is more vital to America’s strategic interests than the US-India partnership.
Under this law, the US takes restrictive measures against arms purchases with its adversaries. The US imposes sanctions under CAATS on countries that have dealings with Iran, North Korea or Russia. Even after approval by the House of Representatives, the proposal is still not part of the law. The bill would have to be passed by both houses of the US Congress to give it legal validity.
