US secretary of state Marco Rubio<\/a> on Sunday, hinted at a “beneficial” and a “sustainable” trade deal agreement with India, as he is on a visit to India.“We’ve made tremendous progress, and I think we’re going to wind up with a trade agreement between the US and India that is going to be enduring and is going to be beneficial to both sides and sustainable in a way that addresses national interests that we have,” said the US official at a joint media briefing with external affairs minister Jaishankar. He further added that a US trade delegation will visit India “very soon”Rubio also pointed out that the US has faced trade issues even with close allies such as the European Union. \u201cThe difference is that India is a massive economy. This is a big economy where you’re the leading trade partner. We do a lot of trade with India, and so obviously, there’s a big difference between rebalancing trade with a country of this size and magnitude,\u201d he said. He added that Washington believes the ongoing trade recalibration will eventually benefit both the US and its global partners. \u201cThe good news is that through this rebalancing, we are ultimately seeking and believe we will arrive at trade arrangements around the world that are good for the United States, but also good for our trade partners,\u201d he added.Additionally, while emphasising on boosting India-US ties, Rubio went on to clarify Trump’s stance around trade agreements. Rubio strongly defended the Donald Trump administration\u2019s trade policy, saying it is aimed at reshaping Washington\u2019s broader global trade approach rather than targeting any one country.\u201cThis is about the United States in terms of trade. The President did not say: ‘Let’s figure out a way to create friction with India over trade’. The President came in and said: ‘We have a trade situation involving the US economy that doesn’t work moving forward’,\u201d Rubio said.He added that the administration was trying to address longstanding trade imbalances through a global strategy. \u201cThere’s a huge imbalance that’s built up, and it needs to be addressed. He pursued it from a global perspective,\u201d Rubio said.Marco Rubio, currently on a four-day visit to India, made the remarks after holding wide-ranging talks with S Jaishankar focused on enhancing cooperation in trade, critical minerals, energy and defence. Jaishankar, from his side, raised India\u2019s concerns over the Trump administration\u2019s visa and immigration policy changes, stressing that legal mobility should not be affected. \u201cPeople-to-people ties are at the heart of the (India-US) relationship. I apprised Secretary Rubio of challenges that legitimate travellers face in respect to visa issuance,\u201d Jaishankar said after the bilateral talks.<\/div>\n
