U.S. Vice President JD Vance begins a four-day visit to India on Monday and will hold talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as New Delhi rushes to avoid steep U.S. tariffs with an early trade deal and boost ties with the Trump administration, Reuters reported.
Their discussions will cover the first day of Vance's largely personal visit to the country with his family, which includes visiting the Taj Mahal and attending a wedding in the city of Jaipur, people familiar with the matter said.
Modi and Vance are expected to review progress made on the bilateral agenda outlined in Februarywhen the Indian leader met President Donald Trump in Washington. It includes "fairness" in their two-way trade and growing their defence partnership, according to Reuters.
