SECRETARY RUBIO: If it were not for the assistance of the United States, including under the Trump Administration, there would be no Ukraine right now. Ukraine as a sovereign state would not exist.
Honored to join @SecRubio at @RIL_Updates Jamnagar facilities. Over the past year, India’s imports of U.S. LPG have surged from under 10% to 67%, making the United States India’s largest LPG supplier. Reliance’s planned investment in the first new U.S. oil refinery in 50 years is another major opportunity to expand American energy production and create jobs.
"If it were not for the assistance of the United States, including under the Trump administration, there would be no Ukraine right now."
Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivers a blunt message about America's role in Ukraine's survival, saying Washington will no longer be defensive about the billions of dollars in assistance provided to the war-torn country.
Rubio praises Ukrainian fighters for their extraordinary bravery against a much larger military but insists U.S. support has been critical to keeping Ukraine a sovereign nation.
SECRETARY RUBIO: If it were not for the assistance of the United States, including under the Trump administration, there would be no Ukraine right now.
.@SecRubio’s second trip to India this year focused around two major hubs of finance, energy, and culture: Mumbai and Jamnagar.
The U.S.-India relationship is central to U.S. security and prosperity. This visit underscores our commitment to commercial investment, energy cooperation, and the strategic partnership between our two democracies.
SECRETARY RUBIO: None of these tariffs are done to punish or harm India. They're part of a broader foreign policy that unfortunately involves a war going on between Russia and Ukraine that we'd like to see come to an end.
SECRETARY RUBIO: We have so many areas of cooperation, the Quad being an example of an area of very strong cooperation, that is beginning to actually turn ideas into action.
Celebrating 250 years of American Independence in Mumbai with @SecRubio! A special thank you to @DrSJaishankar, @VikramMisri, and all our guests for joining us to mark this historic milestone. Proud of America’s story and excited about what lies ahead for the U.S.-India relationship.
SECRETARY RUBIO: That's what we are excited about for the leaders' meeting. At that meeting, they will be able to actually announce concrete actions, not just a nice social gathering, but something that has concrete deliverables.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Mumbai, in particular, is the financial heart and soul of the country. It's where so many of the companies that are investing in and with the United States, and with whom we want to do more trade, are located. It's the financial lifeblood of the country.
SECRETARY RUBIO: We are aligned, and we want to see a world in which superintelligence is used for the betterment of man, and one in which the harms it could cause are mitigated.
SECRETARY RUBIO: To me, this is the best way to celebrate 250 years of the American miracle: to find partners around the world and, by working together, take the things that made America exceptional as a nation and share them in partnership with friends like you.
