Vice President JD Vance is set to visit India for discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on enhancing bilateral trade, particularly as US-China tariff wars escalate. This four-day visit blends official negotiations with family sightseeing, focusing on shared economic and geopolitical interests. A trade pact's progress is key, with India already reducing some tariffs. However, it faces significant domestic protests from farmers fearing trade liberalization's potential impact on incomes, indicating a complex backdrop to the high-level talks.
Vance's visit reflects the urgent need for the US and India to strengthen ties amid escalating global tariffs and changing geopolitical alliances.
Despite the promise of increased trade, Vance's visit is overshadowed by local protests that question the impact of trade agreements on India's agricultural sector.
