US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Saturday with the two leaders exchanging more than just diplomatic talking points. Waiting for him in the capital was a packed agenda shaped by an escalating global energy crisis, fragile trade negotiations, rising geopolitical tensions and Washington’s growing urgency to keep India firmly anchored in its Indo-Pacific strategy.
At the centre of Rubio’s meeting with the Prime Minister was likely energy security as India battles soaring oil prices and supply disruptions triggered by the war in Iran.
