US Vice President JD Vance will visit India with Second Lady Usha Vance, strengthening diplomatic ties. The visit holds personal significance due to Usha’s Indian heritage and follows earlier discussions with PM Modi on trade, energy, and security cooperation.
US Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to visit India later this month, marking his second international trip since taking office. He will be accompanied by Second Lady Usha Vance, whose visit carries both diplomatic and personal significance due to her Indian heritage.
Vance’s trip follows his recent visits to France and Germany, where he made headlines with sharp critiques on European policies regarding illegal migration and election integrity. His upcoming visit to India comes amid strengthening US-India relations, particularly in trade and defense.
Usha Vance, the first Indian-American Hindu Second Lady of the United States, will be visiting her ancestral country in an official capacity for the first time. Her presence is expected to resonate with the Indian-American community and highlight cultural ties between the two nations.
In a previous meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Paris, Vance discussed US support for India’s energy sector, particularly in nuclear technology. Their talks also touched on strategic collaborations in security and technology. After the meeting, Modi hosted the Vance family, offering gifts to their children and personally wishing their son, Vivek, a happy birthday.

The visit is set against the backdrop of evolving global challenges, with India and the US increasingly aligning on key geopolitical issues. During Trump’s first term, he and Modi shared a strong rapport, though tensions arose during Trump’s re-election campaign over trade policies. As the two countries continue to navigate their partnership, Vance’s visit is expected to reinforce diplomatic ties and explore new avenues for cooperation.
