US Vice-President JD Vance Calls Modi a “Tough Negotiator” Amid Trade Deal Discussions

US Vice-President JD Vance recently described Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “tough negotiator” in the context of ongoing trade discussions between the two nations. Vance acknowledged India’s adeptness in leveraging its trade position, suggesting that New Delhi has been able to take advantage of America’s trade policies.

Vance predicted that India could be one of the first countries to strike a trade deal with the US to avoid reciprocal tariffs, which could help ease tensions in the trade relationship.
