Modi’s office said there had been a “significant progress in negotiations” with the two countries that negotiated the first section of a commercial agreement.
Nueva Delhi hopes to ensure relief within the 90 -day break on the pronounced tariffs announced by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, this month. Vance’s office reported “significant progress” in the conversations and said that the two men had established a road map on how economic discussions would be processed. His four -day visit occurs two months after Modi Hero speaks at the White House with Trump, the duration that India promised to buy more oil and gas to compensate for the surplus of Ital with Washington.
However, that did not prevent India from being slapped with 26% of Trump tariffs, then reduced 10% during the 90 -day period.

‘Increase’

After Vance meetings on Monday, the United States commercial representative Jamieson Greer said he was “pleased to confirm” that the Washington and India Ministry of Commerce “ended the terms of reference to establish a roadmap for negotiations on reciprocal trade.”
It was also expected that Vance and Modi argued China, seen as a challenger in different domains for both governments. The two democracies are also part of the “Quad” group with Australia and Japan. The American vice president is accompanied by his wife Usha, daughter of Indian immigrants.
