United States-India Defense Cooperation Act of 2024

This bill, the United States-India Defense Cooperation Act of 2024, accelerates defense cooperation between the U.S. and India by granting India special status for defense transactions. It directs the U.S. to fast-track approvals for military sales to India, treat India like key defense partners for three years, and provide $2 million annually for military training programs. The bill also requires annual reports on Pakistan's military actions against India and links potential U.S. aid to Pakistan to these reports. It directly affects India (as the recipient of enhanced defense support) and Pakistan (as a potential recipient of aid subject to reporting conditions).
