This month, Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, are traveling to India. This will be JD’s second trip abroad as vice president, while Usha is excited for her first visit to India, where her parents came from many years ago.

In February, JD Vance visited France and Germany, where he spoke about important issues like illegal immigration and people’s rights. His upcoming visit to India comes at a time when the US and India are discussing important trade agreements. Recently, US President Donald Trump mentioned high tariffs (taxes on imports) that countries like India, Brazil, and China charge, which sparked worries about possible trade wars and how they could hurt the global economy.

Union Minister Jitin Prasada stated that India and the US are working hard to increase trade between each other, which means making it easier to buy and sell goods and lowering the costs for companies. Not long ago, a team from India, led by Minister Piyush Goyal, returned from talks in the US, working on a new agreement to improve trade, which they hope to finish by fall 2025.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Trump recently agreed to start negotiating a new trade deal that will increase trade between the two countries to $500 billion by 2030, a bold goal they call “Mission 500.” This means more jobs and opportunities for both countries!
