Vice President JD Vance said the cease-fire plan would freeze territory along the current front lines of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and that the U.S. would “walk away” if Ukraine did not agree.

A planned meeting between top U.S., British, French and Ukrainian diplomats to push forward a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine has been scrapped at the last minute.

J.D. Vance painted a bleak picture of the future in a speech comparing India with the “self-loathing” West. The vice president predicted a “prosperous and peaceful” partnership if the United States and India work well together, while making the case for America selling more energy and defense equipment to its trading partner.

The United States wants to sell more energy and defence equipment to India to build closer ties, Vice President JD Vance said.

Vice President JD Vance praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a "tough negotiator" in announcing a "roadmap" toward a trade deal between India and the U.S.
