MEA quietly segregating fact vs fiction while dealing with Washington for long term gains?

Senior MEA figures are likely to treat Trump’s Apache remarks as political theatre in Washington rather than a structural shift in India–US ties. The instinct in South Block would be to quietly fact-check the 68-Apache, “five-year delay” and “Sir, may I see you please?” narrative, but avoid getting dragged into a point-by-point public spat that personalises India’s China-driven, long-horizon defence engagement with the US. Instead, officials may double down on a consistent line: India buys high-end US platforms on its own timelines, diversifies with indigenous Prachand and other partners, and resists any framing that suggests dependency or presidential benevolence. In private, the emphasis is likely to be on ringfencing hard-won frameworks like the 10-year defence agreement and iCET from Trump’s exaggerations, while signaling to Washington that Delhi will separate campaign-style rhetoric from the underlying convergence it wants to preserve.
