JD Vance visited the Taj Mahal with his family during a trip to India but the vice president struggled to get his young children to pose for a family photo in front of the iconic monument

Vance's social media post attracted a comment from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who referred to the Taj Mahal as one of the world's "most beautiful" wonders.

Nitin Singh, the guide who took the US second family around the Mughal-era monument, said the visit lasted about an hour and ten minutes. At the Royal Gate, Singh said he explained the history of the Taj Mahal, including who built it, when it was built, why it was constructed, and how many years it took to complete.
