Outlines vision for stronger India-US ties on defence, trade and energy; lauds Modi leadership
Amid uncertainty over President Donald Trump's paused tariffs, US Vice President JD Vance used a trade forum in Jaipur on Tuesday to outline a broad vision for stronger India-US ties across defence, trade, energy, and technology, while also praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership in a clear political outreach.
"We want to collaborate more, we want to work together more, and we of course want your nations to buy more of our American military equipment," Vance said, highlighting the need for stronger defence ties. He said that platforms like the F-35 would empower the Indian Air Force to protect its airspace and its citizens "like never before".
