Obama India Security

US President Donald Trump has apparently traded in his Android phone for a secure, encrypted device approved by the Secret Service with a new number that few people possess.

US President Barack Obama has signed into law the US $618 billion defence budget for 2017, which enhances security cooperation with India and conditions nearly half of the funding to Pakistan on a certification that it is taking demonstrable steps against the Haqqani Network and other terror groups.

A powerful US Congressional conference committee has asked the Defence Secretary and the Secretary of State to take steps necessary to recognise India as America's major defence partner in a bid to strengthen bilateral security cooperation.

The US today said its security cooperation with Saudi Arabia is not a "blank cheque" as the Obama Administartion strongly condemned its key ally's air strikes on a funeral in Yemen which killed over 140 people.

A top American Senator has asked the Obama Administration to discontinue issuing immigrant and non-immigrant visas to citizens from 23 countries, including India and China, while alleging them of being non-cooperative in taking back illegal immigrants from the US.

Both sides recognise the value of enhancing and further institutionalising their broad-based cooperation on cyber issues, and intend to complete a framework for shared principles and intended forms of cooperation.

The US is "committed" to help India build its defence capabilities till it becomes the "net provider of security" in the Asia-Pacific region, a senior Obama administration official has said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit in Washington this week will focus on enhancing Indo-US security and diplomatic cooperation and offers a chance to reflect on how much the strategic partnership has grown during eight years of Obama administration, the State Department has said.

Over 2,100 Indians have been granted asylum by the Obama administration between 2012 and 2014, as per a report by Homeland Security of the US.

Expressing concern over latest reports suggesting that China supplied nuclear weapons technology and design to Pakistan, two influential US lawmakers have written a letter to the Obama administration, seeking to know what has been done to halt such cooperation which represents a threat to the national security of America and its allies.

Barack Obama may be the world's most powerful man but Queen Elizabeth II forced him to slash by half the number of choppers his Secret Service can land on the Windsor Castle lawns when the US president came over for dinner with the 90-year-old monarch.

Pakistan today said it is ready to discuss arms control and restraint measures with India to avoid unnecessary arms race in the region, days after US President Barack Obama asked both the nations to reduce its nuclear arsenal.
