As U.S. VP visits India, all eyes on New Delhi’s tariff strategy

The meeting between Vice President JD Vance and Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted India's aggressive response to U.S. tariffs, even if partially successful. With a 26% tariff rate on Indian imports delayed for 90 days, New Delhi has rapidly engaged in trade negotiations aimed at addressing India’s trade surplus and encouraging the purchase of more defense, tech, and energy products from the U.S. Experts caution that this response may not serve as a universal model due to the unique economic relationships each country has with the United States.
