美国国务卿鲁比奥访问印度西部港口城市贾姆讷格，将行程重点放在视察信实工业旗下的大型炼油厂，而非首都新德里1。此举反映特朗普政府应对高油价压力的考量。鲁比奥在孟买会见了印度外交部长杰伊桑卡尔和商业领袖后，前往贾姆讷格1。
贾姆讷格炼油厂由亚洲首富穆克什·安巴尼拥有，日处理能力约140万桶原油，占全球炼油产能的1.5%1。鲁比奥称印度是"炼油超级大国"，表示美国希望信实处理更多委内瑞拉石油1。此举旨在推动美国进口更多委内瑞拉油并减少印度对俄罗斯石油的依赖1。自2022年乌克兰战争以来，印度成为俄罗斯石油最大买家之一，2022年12月至2026年7月间占俄罗斯原油出口的37%1。
特朗普政府曾以印度购买俄罗斯石油为由采取贸易措施。2025年8月，特朗普对印度商品追加征收25%关税，但2026年2月撤销该追加关税1。2024年4月至9月，印度对美出口513.1亿美元，同比增长11.1%；进口323.3亿美元1。此外，特朗普在2024年3月宣布在德州布朗斯维尔港建设新炼油厂，声称这将是美国50年来首个大型新炼油厂1。
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has pivoted his India visit away from the capital New Delhi to focus on the western port city of Jamnagar, where he toured a massive refinery operated by Reliance Industries 1. The strategic shift underscores the Trump administration's efforts to address high oil prices while reshaping energy supply chains in the region 1.
During his trip, Rubio met with Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar and business leaders in Mumbai before proceeding to Jamnagar 1. The Reliance refinery, owned by Asia's richest person Mukesh Ambani, processes approximately 1.4 million barrels of crude oil daily and accounts for 1.5 percent of global refining capacity 1. Rubio characterized India as a "refining superpower" and expressed Washington's desire for Reliance to process greater volumes of Venezuelan oil 1.
The visit reflects broader US objectives to reduce India's dependence on Russian petroleum. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, India has become one of Moscow's largest oil buyers, accounting for 37 percent of Russian crude exports between December 2022 and July 2026 1. The Trump administration had imposed an additional 25 percent tariff on Indian goods in August 2025 due to India's Russian oil purchases, though this tariff was rescinded in February 2026 1. Bilateral trade data show India exported $51.31 billion in goods to the United States between April and September 2024, a year-over-year increase of 11.1 percent, while importing $32.33 billion 1. In March 2024, Trump announced plans to construct a new refinery in Brownsville, Texas, which he described as America's first major new refinery in 50 years 1.
