00:00Hello and good afternoon. From the heart of Delhi, it's a bright sunny day in the national capital
00:05and what makes it even bilaterally brighter is U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance's visit to India along with his family.
00:13This morning, they arrived at Palam Air Base in New Delhi where they were welcomed by Union Minister Ashwini Vashnav.
00:20J.D. Vance is accompanied by his family and what caught everyone's attention this morning right after they landed
00:25is not J.D. Vance, it's not Usha Vance but their three beautiful kids, Mirabel, Ivan and Vivek who were dressed beautifully in Indian attire.
00:35Let me tell you that Usha Vance is an Indian-American woman who has Indian descent and their kids are now experiencing their maternal side of family.
00:46Talking about J.D. Vance's schedule in India, he will be staying in India from April 21st to April 24th.
00:51On April 21st, which is today, he will be in the national capital.
00:56First, he is going to visit Akshordham Temple where he will take blessings for himself and his family.
01:03Then, tonight is going to be a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other Indian delegations.
01:10This meeting holds a lot of significance for India-U.S. relations.
01:15Why? Especially because Donald Trump announced 26% tariff on Indian goods.
01:22It was an aggressive one.
01:23Though he announced tariff on different countries and since then, a trade war has erupted.
01:29And in tonight's meeting, J.D. Vance along with Pentagon and State Department representatives
01:35will be having a discussion with Indian delegations.
01:40According to reports, the Indian side includes External Affairs Minister S.J. Shankar, Ajit Doval and U.S. representative to India.
01:47This meeting is going to cover a lot of topics.
01:51For example, immigration.
01:53If we talk about immigration, this year only, United States deported many Indian illegal immigrants,
01:59which they called to India.
02:01We saw the visuals coming in when they arrived in Delhi, Gujarat and different parts of the country.
02:08Second, trade, of course, is going to be one of the most important parts of discussions.
02:13It's buzzing everywhere that U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance is going to have trade discussions
02:18and bilateral pact discussions with Indian delegations.
02:22Let me tell you that China is keeping a very close eye on J.D. Vance's India visit.
02:27This morning only, I saw memes flooding on Chinese news channels and Chinese social media platforms
02:33where they are mocking J.D. Vance's India visit because they also know that India is a very important part
02:40in the Indo-Pacific region and U.S. is trying to build a good relations with India
02:46though they have imposed tariffs on us because U.S. has imposed 145% tariff on Chinese goods
02:53and in response, China has imposed 125% tariff on U.S. goods.
02:59So, this trade war and this visit of J.D. Vance in India holds a lot of significance.
03:05This is not the first time that Prime Minister Modi will be meeting J.D. Vance.
03:09He met J.D. Vance in Paris in AI Action Summit.
03:12He also visited to Washington, D.C. on February 13, 2025 where he met U.S. President Donald Trump
03:20and they also held joint press conferences where they were asked fiery questions from both Indian
03:26and American journalists.
03:28So, what big announcements are going to be made from this visit?
03:31What changes are going to be done and what positivity this visit of U.S. Vice President brings for both India
03:40and the United States is all we are going to keep an eye on.
03:44We are reporting live throughout the day and we are covering all the steps with J.D. Vance's taking in India.
