US secretary of state Marco Rubio on Thursday described India as a “great partner” and said the United States wants to expand energy ties with New Delhi, ahead of his maiden visit to India later this week.
Interacting with reporters in Miami before departing for Sweden and India, Rubio said the US was ready to sell more energy to India as Washington continues to increase production and exports.
“Well, we want to sell them as much energy as they'll buy. And obviously, you've seen I think we're at historic levels of US production, and US export,” Rubio told reporters.
