Moreover, India’s leaders have not leveraged the bargaining power afforded by its massive arms purchases to advance national interests. They could, for example, try to persuade the US to stop selling arms to Pakistan, or secure better access to the American market for India’s highly competitive IT and pharmaceutical sectors, which are facing new US non-tariff barriers.
此外，印度领导人并未利用大量购买所带来的议价能力争取国家利益。比如，他们本可以试图说服美国停止向巴基斯坦军售，或要求让印度竞争力很强但面临着新的非关税壁垒的IT和制药部门更好地进入美国市场。
