Rubio says India-US trade deal is ‘very, very close’ after Jaishankar meeting

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on Tuesday that the country's trade deal with India was in its final stages, with only a small number of items left to wrap up, after he held talks with Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in Mumbai.
