India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday during the UN General Assembly. They discussed trade, defense, energy, and other bilateral issues. The talks came after the US raised H-1B visa fees by $100,000, clarified as a one-time charge. Meanwhile, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal met US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer to push for a faster trade deal. The talks aim to resolve tariff disputes and boost bilateral trade, currently $131.84 billion. Officials hope to conclude the first part of the trade agreement by late 2025. (PC: X)
