News Summary

• US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was in India this week.
• He visited the western Indian port town of Jamnagar.
• It was his second trip to the country this year and experts say what is significant is the timing of the visit as well as his choice of destinations.
• Rubio arrived in the financial capital Mumbai on Tuesday, where he met Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar and some of the country's top business leaders.
• He officially ended his trip in the western state of Gujarat - home to the giant oil refinery owned by one of Asia's richest men, Mukesh Ambani.
• The visit, however, comes at a tricky moment in India-US relations.
• Trump has imposed tariffs on Indian goods, there are sanctions against Delhi for buying Russian energy (though currently paused) and there is a trade deal between the two countries that has remained elusive for around 20 months now.
