During a press briefing in Miami, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the United States is actively engaging with India to expand energy cooperation. He stated, 'We want to sell them as much energy as they'll buy,' reflecting the US's historic production levels and export capabilities. Rubio's visit to India is scheduled from May 23-26, where he will travel to key cities including Kolkata, Agra, Jaipur, and New Delhi. He emphasized India's role as a 'great partner' and expressed optimism about discussions on energy, particularly in light of high prices affecting India due to geopolitical tensions, such as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Additionally, Rubio mentioned that the interim President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, would also be visiting India, indicating potential collaboration opportunities involving Venezuelan oil. His trip will include meetings with ministers from the Quad nations, underscoring the importance of strategic partnerships in the region. Rubio's remarks highlight the US commitment to strengthening ties with India in the energy sector, aiming for a more significant role in India's energy portfolio.
