US Vice President JD Vance will begin his India visit today, accompanied by his family. He is also scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi today. This will be Vance’s first official visit to India and any country in Asia since taking office.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance arrived in India on Monday for a four-day visit as New Delhi looks to avoid U.S. tariffs and negotiate a bilateral trade deal with Washington.
