U.S. Vice President JD Vance commenced a four-day official visit to India on April 21, 2025, accompanied by his wife, Usha Vance, and their children. The visit aims to strengthen bilateral ties and address trade issues amidst the Trump administration's tariff threats. Vance met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss enhancing economic and defense partnerships, with a goal to double trade to $500 billion by 2030. India is open to reducing tariffs on over half of its U.S. imports, which totaled $41.8 billion in 2024. The visit also includes cultural engagements, underscoring Vance's personal ties to India through his wife, Usha, a practicing Hindu of Indian origin.
