Marco Rubio India visit updates: Rubio meets PM Modi with focus on energy and trade relations
Marco Rubio India visit updates: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday, with energy security high on the agenda as the South Asian nation grapples with rising oil prices and supply disruptions caused by the war in Iran.
Ahead of the visit, Rubio said Washington was ready to supply more energy to the world’s most populous country, as India looks to diversify imports after conflict in the Middle East disrupted global flows.
India has been hit hard by its heavy reliance on energy supplies shipped through the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway that was effectively closed shortly after the attack on Iran in late February. As rising oil prices weigh on the rupee and lead to record foreign inflows from local stocks, the government this month rushed to take measures to contain the fallout, including raising fuel prices.
India also stepped up purchases of Russian oil during the conflict, after briefly withdrawing last year under pressure from Washington.

Marco Rubio India visit updates: Rubio arrives in India ahead of the Quad talks
Marco Rubio India visit updates: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in India on Saturday ahead of a meeting next week with his counterparts from India, Australia and Japan, members of the Indo-Pacific strategic alliance known as the Quad.
Rubio’s first official trip to India comes as Washington seeks to stabilize relations with New Delhi after relations were strained due to President Donald Trump’s tariff policies, which led to increased tariffs on many Indian exports.
However, most of Rubio’s four-day visit will focus on a multi-city tour, along with a reception in New Delhi marking the 250th anniversary of US independence.
