After India’s strong protest, Vance clarifies H-1B 'indentured servants' remark

US Vice President JD Vance acknowledged that his rhetoric regarding H-1B visa workers was imperfect and apologised. He clarified that his remarks were aimed at companies exploiting the system rather than the workers themselves. Following criticisms from India, he stressed the importance of protecting foreign professionals’ rights while also considering American jobs. India’s Ministry of External Affairs expressed strong objections to Vance's terminology.
