US Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance will visit India later this month, according to a report by Politico.

This will be his second international trip as the Vice President, following his debut in France and Germany in February.

His first foreign trip was marked by a fiery speech at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, where he slammed European governments for their handling of illegal migration, ignoring religious freedoms, and overturning elections.

JD Vance and his family met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Paris in February and discussed mutual interests, including US support for India’s energy diversification with clean and “reliable” nuclear technology.

After the meeting, PM Modi, JD Vance and Usha Vance shared coffee. PM Modi also gave gifts to the Vance children and wished their son, Vivek, a happy birthday, the White House said in a statement.

Usha Vance, whose parents emigrated from India to the United States, will visit her ancestral country for the first time as second lady.
