US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has expressed optimism on the India-US ties, describing his visit to India as "fantastic" and highlighting the strength of the strategic partnership between the two countries. During his second day of visit to India, Rubio held talks with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar at Hyderabad House in New Delhi, which was attended by senior officials from both sides. Rubio's visit comes at a time when the bilateral relations between India and the US have been strained due to the economic and diplomatic downturn caused by the US President Donald Trump's tariff policies that raised duties on several Indian exports.
