JD Vance and Family Arrive in India For Official Visit, Children Dressed In Traditional Indian Attire

The Vance family will visit Agra on April 23 and Jaipur on April 22 after wrapping up engagements in New Delhi. Plans are in motion for their trip to the Taj Mahal. The schedule is in line with similar trips made by other US presidents, such as Melania and Donald Trump in 2020.

Meanwhile, in Vadluru village, Usha Vance's ancestral home in the West Godavari region of Andhra Pradesh, excitement has increased.

Following a three-day journey to Italy, where he visited Pope Francis and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, the Vice President is now visiting India. On April 24, JD Vance is expected to leave India at 6:40 a.m.
