- Rubio is visiting India this week in his capacity as Washington's top diplomat, with the itinerary skipping New Delhi entirely.
- The world's largest oil refinery, a facility that processes massive amounts of Russian crude, tops the agenda instead, prompting the question of whether Trump is angling for a new deal.
Why it matters: A visit that bypasses India's capital and zeroes in on a refinery tied to Russian crude flows points to a commercial — not ceremonial — purpose. The source poses but does not answer whether a new US-India energy arrangement is in play, leaving the trip's actual agenda ambiguous.
