United States Defense Secretary James Mattis appeared to be confident on resolving the pending sanctions on India for it deciding to buy the multi-billion dollar S-400 missile defence system from Russia.

"We'll work all this forward. This is the normal collaboration and consultation that we have with each other," he said in response to a similar question at the Pentagon.
