Rubio in India: US must keep ties with nuclear-armed Pakistan, just as India talks to Iran
Asked in an interview with India's News18 about US policy on Pakistan, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington has to keep a relationship with Pakistan because it is nuclear-armed and geographically important. He compared this to India keeping ties with Iran. During the same visit he said an India-US trade deal is "incredibly close", and he urged India to buy more US energy and technology.
