This is Vice President Vance’s first trip to India. His wife, Usha Vance, has family roots in Andhra Pradesh. It’s not yet known whether they will meet any of her Indian relatives during the visit. The couple is traveling with their three children: Ewan, 7, Vivek, 4, and Mirabel, 2.
The main focus of the visit is a meeting with Prime Minister Modi, which will be their second meeting this year. Their first was in February in Paris during an international AI summit. After that event, Modi had traveled to Washington DC for talks with President Trump.
This trip also comes as the US and India are in talks over a possible trade deal. These talks follow President Trump’s decision to apply high tariffs on imports. Currently, India faces a 10% import tax, lower than the original 26%, due to a temporary 90-day pause in the full rollout of those tariffs.
Vice President Vance is the second top official from the Trump administration to visit India this year. The first was Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, who visited in March. She met Indian officials and spoke at the Raisina Dialogue, a major global conference on security and foreign policy.
This is the first time in 13 years that an American vice president is visiting India. The last was Joe Biden in 2013 when he was vice president under President Barack Obama. Neither Mike Pence nor Kamala Harris visited India during their time in office.
