“U.S. Visa Curbs Aren’t Targeting India”: Marco Rubio Defends Trump’s Immigration Policy

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor address concerns over America’s immigration policy and its impact on Indian professionals and students. Responding to questions about higher work-visa costs, Rubio says the changes are not aimed specifically at India but apply globally. He argues that the US immigration system needs reform to address illegal entry, fraud and misuse of business visa programmes. Rubio says the Trump administration will prioritise American workers and national interests, just as India prioritises its own people. He adds that shared interests and longstanding ties can help India and the US resolve differences.
