Tap title to read story
US Vice President JD Vance announced "very good progress" on a US-India trade agreement during a high-level visit. Vance praised Prime Minister Modi's negotiating skills and described the US-India partnership as crucial. The deal aims to increase bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030, with the US seeking greater access to India's e-commerce market and reduced trade barriers. India has made some symbolic tariff cuts, and both nations are cooperating on energy and defense, driven by shared concerns about China. A first tranche of the agreement is expected by autumn.
