Rubio's India Visit: A Bid to Revitalize a Fading Relationship? The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, is set to visit India for three days, meeting with Indian officials in Kolkata, Agra, Jaipur, and New Delhi.
This trip appears to be part of Washington's efforts to strengthen ties with New Delhi, but several factors suggest a more nuanced approach.
Rubio's visit comes on the heels of two significant decisions: dropping charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, who was accused of bribing officials to secure contracts, and extending a sanctions waiver on Russian oil purchases by India.
