American Vice President J. D. Vance has called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a “tough negotiator” and has accused New Delhi of taking advantage of the US, while predicting that India could be among the first countries, who can attack the business deal to trades mutual tariffs.

India is one of the countries interacting with the US to avoid high import taxes, most of them announced by President Donald Trump at stagnation.
“Modi, the Prime Minister, is a difficult negotiator, but we are going to unbalance that relationship, and that is why the President is doing what he is doing,” Vance said during the interview.
“Is India coming first deal?” Vance was asked in an interview on Fox News’s ‘Special Report’.
“I don’t know that this will be your first deal, I think it will definitely be one of the first deals. Very soon appears, we have got conversation with Japan, with Korea, we have had a conversation with some people in Europe, and obviously we have a good conversation in India,” said Vance.
US President Trump announced a mutual tariff on several countries including India and China on 2 April. However, on 9 April, he announced the 90-day suspension of these tariffs till 9 July this year, except for the people of China and Hong Kong, about 75 countries contacted the US for trade deals.
However, 10% of the baseline tariffs imposed on countries on 2 April are in effect, in addition to 25% of duties on steel, aluminum and auto components.
“What the President has said, we just want to regenerate business. So some conversations I have interacted in India, for example, I think most Americans will not know, it cannot appreciate it, we have great agricultural products.”
Pakistan to cooperate with India
“Our farmers are making great things, but the Indian market is effectively closed for American farmers. So it means that it depends more on foreign rivals to American farmers and American consumers that we eat.”
“What will our India deal do, fundamentally, I think, India is open to American technology. It will open India for American farmers. It will create more good American jobs. And it is a business deal that Donald Trump likes.”
“He is not anti-business. He is anti-business. He is not a completely business where foreign competitors take advantage of us, Indians, let’s be honest, they have taken advantage of us for a very long time,” said Mr. Wance.
New Delhi and Washington are now negotiating to seal a bilateral trade agreement as per PM Modi’s agreements with Mr. Trump at Washington DC in February.
The trade treaty is expected to address a variety of issues, including tariffs and market access.
US vice -president JD Vance on Thursday hoped that Pakistan would cooperate with India to catch terrorists in Pahgam on 22 April to catch terrorists responsible for the terrorist attack, which claimed 26 lives.
“Our hope is here that India responds to this terrorist attack, which does not cause a widespread regional struggle”, Vance said.
“And we hope, clearly, that Pakistan, to the extent that they are responsible, cooperate with India to ensure that terrorists are sometimes working and hunted in their area,” said Vance.
Top American leaders, including President Donald Trump, have condemned the attack, called it “terror” and “unconscious”, while directly expressed support for India without blaming Pakistan.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vowed to bring those responsible for justice. Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar in a recent conversation with American senator Marco Rubio, emphasized that criminals should be held accountable.
