US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited India for talks with Foreign Minister Jaishankar and toured the Reliance Jamnagar refinery.
Rubio met Jaishankar in Mumbai on Tuesday to discuss trade, energy, defense and technology, and said the two sides were close to finalizing a trade deal. He then visited Reliance Industries' Jamnagar refinery in Gujarat on Wednesday and met Mukesh Ambani. The trip came amid US tariffs on Indian goods and India's continued purchases of Russian oil.
