    US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visits Jamnagar to discuss energy cooperation with India

    Report first recorded Oct 23, 18:16

    US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Jamnagar, a western Indian port town in Gujarat, home to Mukesh Ambani's giant oil refinery, following a meeting with Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar in Mumbai. The visit, which skipped the capital Delhi, was strategically timed to address the Trump administration's domestic need to stabilize fuel prices ahead of the US midterm elections, leveraging India's crude oil processing capacity to ease pressure on US fuel markets. The official focus was on energy cooperation, commercial investment, and economic ties, though existing trade hurdles and diplomatic tensions remain.
