Govt on alert over H-1B row, taking feedback from IT firms
Monday, 30 December 2024 The Indian government is vigilantly monitoring the situation of Indian H-1B visa holders in the US amid backlash and profiling of IT and management professionals. This involves collaboration between the ministries of external affairs, commerce, and IT to ensure that legal Indian workers are not adversely impacted by evolving American visa policies under Donald Trump's administration.
In a harrowing visit to Gaza’s so-called “Valley of Death,” Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff walked the frontline near an aid distribution zone where nearly 900 civilians have reportedly been killed in recent IDF operations. Joined by international officials and aid workers, Witkoff witnessed first-hand the devastation wrought by shelling in proximity to humanitarian corridors.

India has reportedly declined a U.S. offer to buy F-35 stealth fighter jets, according to Bloomberg. The offer was made by President Trump during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Washington in February. Instead of purchasing American jets, India is prioritizing joint defense manufacturing initiatives and has shown greater interest in the Russian Su-57, especially after its debut at Aero India.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs downplayed Bloomberg’s report, confirming no formal talks on the F-35 have taken place yet. Meanwhile, the U.S. has slapped 25% tariffs on Indian imports due to a failed trade deal, escalating tensions. Trump also announced India would face a penalty over its continued defense ties with Russia. This deepening rift could impact U.S.-India defense cooperation and reshape future arms procurement.
