India is likely to sign a $2.6 billion deal for 24 naval helicopters from the US during President Donald Trump's two-day visit next week.
That could be the only deal to crystallize during the high-profile presidential visit, after President Trump cast doubts over any trade pact with India for now.
24 naval helicopters -- MH-60R - are likely to replace the obsolete British-made Sea King choppers, which first joined the Indian military fleet 49 years ago.
