Next week, US Vice President JD Vance will travel to India for four days to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to negotiate a bilateral trade agreement between the two nations.
On April 21, the first day of Vance’s trip, the two leaders are expected to meet to discuss geopolitical, trade, and economic relations. According to a statement from India’s foreign ministry, “the visit will provide an opportunity for both sides to review the progress in bilateral relations.” As the two nations attempt to finalise a trade deal by the autumn, Vance is making his first trip to India since entering office.
The vice president will be joined by his spouse and kids, Usha Vance, whose parents immigrated to the United States from Andhra Pradesh in southern India.
The visit takes place as the US and China’s trade battle heats up, with President Donald Trump imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese goods and perhaps as high as 245% on certain. China retaliated by imposing 125% tariffs on US goods.
Prior to the announcement of a 90-day delay, India was one of the nations that was subject to 27% US duties on April 2. Since then, Washington and Delhi have been attempting to wrap up trade talks as soon as possible.
