US Vice-President JD Vance gives a green light to stronger India-US relations following his meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Vance is currently on a four-day trip to India accompanied by his wife, Usha and their three children.
What did Vance say?
While speaking in Jaipur, Van emphasised that both India and the US have completed and agreed on the basic framework for their upcoming negotiations.
"But I also believe that if we fail to work together successfully, the 21st Century could be a very dark time for all of humanity," he added.
Vance further added, "This is a vital step toward realising President Trump and Prime Minister Modi's vision because it sets a roadmap toward a final deal between our nations."
He further mentioned that the US wants to sell more energy and defence equipments to India as both leaders also discussed working together in areas like defence, advanced technology and energy cooperation.
India is one of several countries that are trying to quickly made trade agreement with the US while there is a temporary 90-day ban from increased tariffs proposed by US President Donald Trump.
Are there any chances of Trump coming to India?
Although, the Indian Prime Minister expressed his anticipation of welcoming President Trump to India later this year, there has been no official confirmation of his visit from Trump and his team regarding this.
Also, the country is set to host the Quad summit and it is expected that President Trump will attend the event.

After his meeting with Modi, he and his family visited Jaipur where they toured the historic Amer Fort.
Now, the family is planning to visit the famous Taj Mahal in Agra on Wednesday, April 22, before returning to US the next day.
