Indian-American business leaders reacted in disbelief that Vice President JD Vance, married to Indian-origin Usha Vance, opposed the India-US trade deal, as revealed by Senator Ted Cruz during a private meeting with donors. The Indian lobby said Vance's stand is nothing but a self-sabotage which he is doing only to appease the gropyers but at the cost of turning America's most successful community into political enemies.
In his address to the donors, Ted Cruz spoke about 'battling' the White House to accept a trade agreement with India. As the donors asked him who was stonewalling the deal, the Republican senator mentioned the names of economic adviser Peter Navarro, JD Vance and sometimes Trump.
