Reuters: The United States wants to sell more energy and defence equipment to India to build closer ties, Vice President JD Vance said yesterday, praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi repeatedly as talks over a trade deal progress.
Visiting the northwestern Indian city of Jaipur, Vance hailed what he called India’s vitality over the “sameness and flatness” of some Western nations. His remarks followed criticism by US President Donald Trump of steep Indian tariffs on cars, farm goods and other products, reports Reuters.
The rebalancing of global trade because of Trump’s tariff actions is “going to produce great benefits for the people of India,” Vance said.
“If India and the United States work together successfully, we’re going to see a 21st century that is prosperous and peaceful,” Vance told the audience.
“But I also believe that if we fail to work together successfully, the 21st century could be a very dark time for all of humanity,” he said.
