All eyes are, however, on the dinner hosted for him by Prime Minister Narendra Modi tonight
Vance is expected to discuss issues related to tariffs and the bilateral trade deal during his meeting with Modi. Sources said he is expected to press India on the issue of buying US defence equipment.
Vance, wife Usha and their three children — Ewan, Vivek and Mirabel — are scheduled to land at the Palam airbase at 10 am on Monday, where they will be received by a senior Union minister.
Vance’s first visit to India after assuming office as V-P comes in the backdrop of the sweeping tariff regime announced by US President Donald Trump — which has been paused for 90 days — against most countries, including India.
New Delhi and Washington are holding negotiations to seal a bilateral trade agreement that is expected to address a range of issues, including tariff and market access.
