US Secretary of State Rubio said Washington is pushing for President Trump to visit India early next year and expects a bilateral trade deal to be finalised within weeks or months, describing negotiations as in their final stage. He plans a return visit to India later this year to prepare for the presidential trip. Rubio said the US seeks a larger role in meeting India’s rising energy demand and can help boost global crude supply, including by facilitating Venezuelan exports.
