US Vice President JD Vance telephoned Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday to discuss expanding the India-US comprehensive global strategic partnership. Modi said they talked about deepening cooperation across key areas, and he congratulated Vance and Second Lady Usha on the birth of their son. The call came as the US Senate passed a bill seeking 100% tariffs on five countries, including India and China, for purchasing oil from Russia. Ties had earlier frayed over US tariffs, Trump's claims about de-escalating the 2025 India-Pakistan clashes (which New Delhi rejected), and tougher immigration policies. Both sides are now working on a trade deal.
