On Tuesday, dozens of people were slain when a gunman opened fire on a gathering of tourists, disrupting Vice President JD Vance’s trip to India.
As negotiations on a trade agreement move forward, Vance had been in the nation to assist in strengthening relations with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Just hours before the Holy Father’s death on Sunday, the vice president met the late Pope Francis in Vatican City before departing for India.
As part of a four-day trip to the nation, Vance met with Modi on Monday and then traveled to the northwest city of Jaipur on Tuesday.
