The India visit is crucial as to foster defence and technology between the two nations. While speaking in Jaipur, JD Vance said, “Critics have attacked my president, President Trump, for starting a trade war in an effort to bring back the jobs of the past, but nothing could be further from the truth”.
Emphasising the potential for deeper cooperation between the two nations, he added, “He seeks to rebalance global trade so that America, with friends like India, can build a future worth having for all of our people together.” The terms of reference for a future trade agreement have been finalised, JD Vance said. According to him, this measure lays a clear roadmap toward achieving the shared goal of more than doubling bilateral trade to USD 500 billion by the end of the decade.
