American Vice President JD Vance recently concluded a four-day official visit to India from April 21-24, 2025. On the trip, he was accompanied by his Indian-origin wife, Usha Chilikuri Vance and their three children.

He stated that President Trump aims to rebalance trade not just for India but also to pursue a stronger future with U.S. allies. Vance sees the agreement as helping create deeper, sustained collaboration among nations in energy, defense, and technology, which will be mutually beneficial to the U.S. and India.

United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday said that US is "very close" on a trade deal with India, adding that it is much easier to negotiate with New Delhi due to its high tariffs. He also said that the trade negotiations with India are "moving well" and that non-tariff barriers can be "much more insidious" than tariff barriers.
