Trump has flayed US firms for having moved manufacturing overseas and then sell their products back to the US and asked them to produce in the US itself. Lockheed, however, does not plan to sell back F-16 in the US which has not placed fresh orders for it.

That's what matters - the US isn't going to be buying any more F-16s. This is a way to keep the American supply chain for the F-16 going, keeping hundreds or thousands of jobs alive that would otherwise end if F-16 production just ended. And India will manufacture jets we consider outdated for their use - we arm a nation that fights Muslims and counters China for us. Sounds like a win-win to me.

“American defence major Lockheed Martin today said discussions are currently taking place between the US and Indian governments on the company’s plans to set up manufacturing base for F-16 fighter jets in India.”

A sphincter says what?

String them along for awhile and then deny them as payback for Robert Harward - a senior executive at Lockheed Martin for his nasty comment.

No. Just no.
