India and the US have finalised terms of reference for the ongoing negotiations for completing a bilateral trade deal between the two countries, said US Vice President JD Vance.
Speaking at an event in Jaipur during his visit to India, US Vice President JD Vance said, “What president Trump and Prime Minister Modi announced in February that our countries aimed to more than double our Lateral trade to 500 billion dollars by the end of the decade. I know that both of them meant it, and I’m encouraged by everything. Our nations are doing to get us there.”
Both governments are working on a trade agreement built on shared priorities, including creating new jobs, building durable supply chains, and achieving prosperity for workers, he said.
