Modi and JD Vance discuss strengthening India-US strategic partnership
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US Vice President JD Vance held a telephone conversation to discuss strengthening the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership. The leaders reaffirmed their commitment to cooperating in trade, defense, critical and emerging technologies, energy security, and critical minerals.
The discussion occurred amid diplomatic friction regarding proposed amendments to India's Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA). US Congressman Riley Moore alleged the changes could allow the Indian government to control religious organizations, which India's Ministry of External Affairs rejected as an internal matter.
Additionally, the dialogue follows the US Senate's passage of the Lindsey O Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026. This legislation authorizes the US president to impose tariffs of up to 100% on goods from countries that continue to import Russian oil and gas, a measure that could impact India's energy trade and ongoing bilateral trade negotiations.
