US Secretary of State Marco Rubio concluded a two-day visit to Mumbai and Jamnagar, bypassing Delhi to meet leaders including S. Jaishankar, Tata, Adani and Mukesh Ambani. The trip emphasized energy, particularly Venezuelan crude and Reliance's Jamnagar refinery, while signalling US interest in a trade deal, discussing India's Russian oil purchases and concerns about anti-Indian sentiment in the US.
