U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met in Paris on Tuesday to strategize on enhancing India's energy diversification. The talks focused on investing in U.S. nuclear technology as part of broader trade and technology collaborations between the two countries, according to the White House.

This meeting occurred at an artificial intelligence summit ahead of Modi’s U.S. visit, where discussions on trade, technology, and immigration are anticipated.
