JD Vance India Visit Live Updates: US and India finalise roadmap for trade deal, aim to double trade to $500 billion

Headlining the issue of trade talks in his 25 minute speech, US Vice President JD Vance said, “When President Trump and Prime Minister Modi announced in February that our country's aim to more than double our bilateral trade to $500 billion by the end of the decade, I know that both of them meant and I'm encouraged by everything our nations are doing to get us there. As many of you are aware, both of our governments are hard at work on a trade agreement built on shared priorities by creating new jobs, building durable supply chains and achieving prosperity for our workers.”

JD Vance India Visit Live Updates: Vance slams past US approach to India, says Modi's popularity 'would make me jealous'

US Vice President JD Vance, while speaking on US-India relations, said the United States is seeking to build a future with India based on mutual respect, innovation, and shared goals. “The most profound responsibility is to give a better society for the next generation,” he said, adding, “This is the world that America seeks to create with you. We want to build a bright new world — one that's constantly innovating, helping people to form families, making it easier to build, invest, and trade together in pursuit of common goals.”

Vance further added that the US has come to India not to lecture, but as a genuine partner: “We are not here to preach.” Criticising previous US administrations, he said they viewed India as merely a source of low-cost labour while simultaneously criticising Prime Minister Modi’s government, “arguably the most popular in the democratic world.”

“I told PM Modi, he got approval ratings that would make me jealous.” He added that this outdated attitude was not limited to India, but reflected a broader problem in US economic relations around the world. (PTI)

JD Vance India Visit Live Updates: Why Vance is much more than just an American vice president

The authentic voice of the new American right, US Vice President JD Vance is poised to exercise considerable influence on the Republican Party in the coming years.

In the first 100 days of Trump 2.0, Vance has shaped domestic and foreign policy debates to an unusual degree.

Vance has challenged the US' European allies on the war in Ukraine, and trashed the social policies of Britain.

Vance’s upcoming speech at the Rajasthan International Centre in Jaipur on Tuesday should offer some insights into his philosophy and what they might mean for US-India bilateral relations in the coming years.

Political philosophy Vance follows include national conservatism, backlash against the liberal hegemony of the past decades, traditional Catholic social teaching, and anti-elite populism.

He has opposed free trade, mass migration, and international entanglements, arguing that these have harmed ordinary citizens while benefiting the elite.

Often highlighting the failures of classical liberalism at home and abroad, Vance dismisses the liberal vision of unconstrained capitalism and international leadership.

JD Vance India Visit Live Updates: Vance and Modi are likely to discuss a potential US-India trade deal. Here's what to know

US Vice President JD Vance began a four-day visit to India on Monday as the two countries seek to unlock economic opportunities and negotiate a bilateral trade deal.

Vance will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi for talks on the economy, trade and geopolitical ties.

Vance’s visit is seen as an important diplomatic mission by President Donald Trump’s administration, and it coincides with a rapidly intensifying trade war between Washington and Beijing, which is New Delhi's main rival in the region.

A trade deal between India and the US could significantly enhance economic ties between the two countries and potentially strengthen diplomatic ties.

The US is also India’s largest trading partner, with bilateral trade valued at $190 billion until recently.

India’s Foreign Ministry has said the visit will “provide an opportunity for both sides to review the progress in bilateral relations” and the two leaders will “exchange views on regional and global developments of mutual interest.
