U.S. Vice-President Vance, NSA Waltz expected to visit India from April 21

U.S. Vice President and National Security Adviser to visit India, focusing on key issues amid global concerns over tariffs.

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and National Security Adviser Michael Waltz are expected to be in New Delhi on April 21, reflecting Washington's focus on its relationship with India amid concerns across the globe over President Donald Trump's policy on tariffs.

Both the U.S. vice president and national security advisor are likely to embark on separate visits to India from April 21, top sources told PTI on Friday night.

Mr. Vance's visit is likely to be more of a private trip, even though it will have official components. Mr. Waltz's visit will be a purely business trip as he will hold wide-ranging talks with his Indian interlocutors on a range of key issues including the security situation in the Indo-Pacific, the sources said.

Both Mr. Vance and Mr. Waltz are expected to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi before he travels to Saudi Arabia for a two-day visit from April 22.

The visits of Mr. Vance and Mr. Waltz are taking place against the backdrop of Mr. Trump's policy on tariffs that triggered massive trade disruptions and fears of a global economic recession.

On Wednesday, Mr. Trump announced a 90-day pause on his sweeping tariffs on all countries except China as nations around the world wilted under the impact of the seismic action.

The U.S. NSA is visiting India to unveil initiatives for cooperation in areas of high technology, critical minerals and export controls, the sources said.
