economictimes.indiatimes.com —

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio departed Saturday for Uzbekistan and India to pursue economic opportunities for the Trump administration, arriving in India on October 20. Rubio will attend the C5+1 Ministerial in Uzbekistan before meeting Indian officials and business leaders to discuss energy, trade, investment, and technology. He cited India's energy needs as a reason for pausing sanctions on Russian fuel importers. The visit follows President Trump's 60-day waiver of tariffs under the Lindsey Graham Act, which targeted major Russian crude importers like India. The State Department says talks will strengthen the strategic partnership and review bilateral ties.
