Rubio visits India to strengthen ties and discuss energy

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited India this week, meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. The trip aimed to renew and stabilize relations between the two countries, with energy cooperation as a key topic — especially as India faces pressure from Iran oil sanctions. Rubio also delivered an invitation from President Donald Trump for Modi to visit the U.S. in the near future.

During his visit, Rubio addressed questions about U.S. green card rules, saying the issue is not specifically about India. The visit comes shortly after Trump’s summit with China, which had raised concerns in New Delhi about the direction of U.S.-India ties. By focusing on energy sales and strategic partnership, both sides signaled a desire to keep relations on track.
