NEW DELHI (AP) — U.S. Vice President JD Vance arrived in India on Monday for a four-day visit as New Delhi looks to avoid U.S. tariffs, negotiate a bilateral trade deal with Washington and strengthen ties with the Trump administration.

United States Vice President JD Vance is visiting India on a four-day trip starting April 21. His wife Usha Vance, who belongs to the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, their children and other administrative officials are accompanying him as well.

He and his family are taking time between official engagements to go sightseeing. Not long after reaching Delhi, they visited the Akshardham temple and posed outside in the 100-degree weather. The family will visit the Amer Fort in Jaipur and the Taj Mahal in Agra later this week.
