‘Not here to preach things, we come to you as partners,’ JD Vance in India amid global tariff war

US Vice President JD Vance said on Tuesday that the United States did not intend to just preach things but work with India as a partner and looked forward to strengthening the relationship.

‘Now I believe that our nations have much to offer to one another, and that’s why we come to you as partners, looking to strengthen our relationship,” At an event in Rajasthan’s Jaipur, US Vice President JD Vance said.

“Now we’re not here to preach that you do things any one particular way. Too often in the past, Washington approached Prime Minister Modi with an attitude of preaching,” said Vance on the second day of his four-day India visit, first since he became VP in January this year.

Now we’re not here to preach that you do things any one particular way. Too often in the past, Washington approached Prime Minister Modi with an attitude of preaching.

“Prior administrations saw India as a source of low cost labour. On the one hand, even as they criticised the Prime Minister’s government, arguably the most popular in the democratic world, and as I told Prime Minister Modi last night, he’s got approval ratings that would make me jealous,” Vance said.
