On April 21, 2025, U.S. Vice President JD Vance met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi to advance bilateral trade discussions. Their talks focused on finalizing a trade agreement ahead of the July expiration of President Trump's 90-day tariff pause, which threatens a 26% tariff on Indian exports. The leaders also discussed defense cooperation, energy, and critical technologies. Modi hosted Vance and his family for dinner, gifting peacock feathers to their children. This visit marks the first by a U.S. vice president to India since 2013 and sets the stage for President Trump's anticipated visit later this year.
