“Leave Russia-Iran, take oil from us…” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s big offer to PM Modi

A very big news of this time is coming out from global politics and business market. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday. This very important visit has taken place at a time when relations between India and America are going through a lot of pressure due to growing concerns regarding trade tariffs, Pakistan and China. During this high-profile meeting, mutual trade, energy security and the current situation in the world were discussed in detail between the two big leaders.

America’s emphasis on adopting American oil instead of Russia-Iran

During this special meeting, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that American energy products can play a big role in meeting India’s growing energy needs. He placed special emphasis on the fact that America wants India to diversify its energy supply i.e. sources of oil and gas and for this to reduce dependence on other countries.

America clearly believes that amid the global energy crisis that has arisen across the world after the Iran war, American oil and gas can prove to be the safest and better option for India. Rubio also said in a strong tone that America will not allow the global energy market to come under the influence of Iran at any cost. In fact, in the last few months, India has increased its purchase of cheap oil from Russia in large quantities, which has given America sleepless nights and has increased its worries to a great extent.

Relations deteriorated due to tariff dispute and Pakistan’s actions

Let us tell you that during the last tenure of US President Donald Trump, heavy tariffs were imposed on goods coming from India, due to which the trade relations between the two countries were significantly strained. However, later, by finding a middle path, some relief was given in many duties under an interim agreement, but despite this, till now no major and comprehensive trade agreement has been reached between the two countries.

Experts keeping an eye on this matter clearly say that the continuous delay in this big trade agreement is having a bad effect on the strategic relations of the two countries. On the other hand, the increasing closeness between America and Pakistan in recent times has also become a big headache and a matter of concern for India.

Secret discussion took place on Quad meeting and White House visit

During this very important meeting, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also officially invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit the White House on behalf of President Donald Trump. Along with this, strategic discussions were also held between the two leaders regarding the meeting of foreign ministers of Quad countries to be hosted by India next week. Let us tell you that this powerful Quad group includes India and America as well as Japan and Australia.

During this entire conversation, India, as always, made its old and strong stand clear. India once again reiterated that it is in favor of resolving any global dispute not through war, but through peaceful diplomacy and mutual dialogue. Political analysts believe that despite all the ongoing challenges and differences regarding trade and oil, both the countries are trying their best to keep their old strategic partnership strong at all costs.
