Rubio to push India on refining more crude
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio hailed India as a “refining superpower” during his visit to the country.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to visit India to discuss refining more Venezuelan crude, as Washington looks to address energy market turmoil ahead of midterm elections. Rubio, who hailed India as a "refining superpower" during his visit, plans to tour Reliance’s oil refinery, the world’s largest, to identify any obstacles to increasing output.
The move could provide short-term relief to energy markets under pressure from conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Despite strained relations between the US and India due to New Delhi’s significant oil purchases from Russia, Washington recently waived sanctions on buyers of Russian oil and gas.
