“Not to preach India here”: US Vice President JD Vance praises Modi’s government; says “jealous…” | Indian News

US Vice President JD Vance, who joined his family on a two-day tour in India, held a party in Jaipur, Rajasthan today, not only praised the Narendra Modi government, but also said that the days of preaching India in the United States are over. He said the Trump administration wants India to grow.

“We are not here to teach India something in any particular way. In the past, Washington often approached Modi’s attitude with a preaching attitude, or even a humble attitude. Previous governments saw India as the source of a low-cost labor, even though they criticized the Democratic government, which led me to criticize Modi’s night.

The Vice President further stated that the United States’ focus is on a free and open Indo-Pacific that is completely consistent with India’s vision. The future of the 21st century will depend on the strength of India and the United States, he said, adding that President Trump is trying to rebalance global trade so that the United States and friends like India can build a better future.

Vance responded to U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade policy, “Trade relations must be based on fairness.” He further said that both India and the United States are working on bilateral trade agreements based on common priorities. “We want to get more into the Indian market,” he said.
