US Vice President JD Vance is on a four-day trip to India, where he met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss trade relations. Their talks have reportedly made significant headway towards securing an early trade deal before a 90-day tariff pause ends. Alongside trade, they focused on cooperation in energy, defense, and technology. Vance's visit is partly personal and is also being seen as a precursor to a forthcoming summit involving leaders from the Quad nations, potentially boosting bilateral ties.
Modi's office indicated 'significant progress in the negotiations' regarding the initial phase of a trade agreement aimed at promoting shared economic growth.
Vance's office stated that the meetings provided 'an opportunity to negotiate a new and modern trade agreement focused on promoting job creation and citizen well-being in both countries.'
