Leading US lawmaker Ro Khanna on Monday said obtaining Congressional approval for the export authorisation for GE Aerospace's F-414 jet engines for co-production in India will be a "high priority" for him.
In an exclusive interview to PTI, Mr Khanna also talked about a plan for legislation to facilitate treating India on par with Washington's close allies like Israel, Japan and South Korea, for expediting approvals to such critical projects.
In June, American defence major GE Aerospace signed an agreement with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) to co-produce F-414 fighter jet engine engines in India, during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's state visit to the US.
