NEW DELHI — U.S. Vice President JD Vance is set to hold key talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a four-day visit to the South Asian nation beginning on Monday, with the two leaders expected to discuss pressing issues such as Washington’s sweeping “reciprocal” trade tariffs and mounting geopolitical tensions in the region and beyond.
Vance will touch down for his maiden trip to India as vice president following a visit to Italy, accompanied by his wife Usha, the first Indian American and Hindu second lady of the United States, and their three children. He is due to meet with Modi in New Delhi on Monday, before traveling on to Agra, famous for the iconic Taj Mahal, and Jaipur, often referred to as the “pink city” due to the vibrant color of many of its historic buildings.
