“Maybe I Can Live In India”: What JD Vance’s Son Said After PM’s Dinner

New Delhi:

US Vice-President J D Vance on Tuesday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a “special person”, and revealed he was only the second world leader apart from President Donald Trump his children are fond of.

Mr Vance, who arrived in India for a four-day visit with his wife Usha Vance and three children on Monday evening, said his affection for Mr Modi flowed from his kids’ perception of the Indian Prime Minister.

While addressing an event in Jaipur, the US Vice-President shared a light moment from a dinner that was hosted by Mr Modi for him and his family at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg residence in the Capital on Monday evening. Mr Vance said that after the warm gesture, his eldest son, Ewan, told him that he could live in India. 

“My son, Ewan, is seven-years-old. He is our first born son. Yesterday after we had dinner at the Prime Minister’s House, the food was so good and the Prime Minister was so kind to our three children, that Ewan came to me afterwards and said ‘dad, maybe I can live in India’,” the US Vice-President said, as the audience burst into laughter.
