India and the US are deep in trade talks, and it's actually affecting President Trump's call to let India keep buying Russian oil without extra penalties.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says these negotiations matter because India still depends on Russian energy, and the US wants to balance its foreign policy goals without causing chaos in global oil markets.
