U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has held talks with Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in Mumbai. The two countries are working to deepen energy cooperation and finalize a trade deal. The visit comes as New Delhi and Washington try to revive trade negotiations stalled by U.S. tariffs and India’s purchases of Russian oil. India’s foreign ministry said the talks covered energy, trade, investment, and defense. Despite tensions, the two countries continue to deepen defense and technology ties. Rubio indicated that the U.S. and India are nearing completion of a trade agreement. He is scheduled to visit Reliance Industries’ refinery in Jamnagar, Gujarat on Wednesday.

The United States and Cuba have clashed at the United Nations as the Trump administration sought once again to build opposition for an upcoming annual vote condemning Washington's decades-long economic embargo against Havana. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz hosted a “Cuba Libre” panel Monday with dissidents and former prisoners in an effort to highlight what he called the oppressive behavior of the island’s government. Cuban Ambassador to the U.N. Ernesto Soberón Guzmán gathered diplomats and allies from around the world to protest what he called a sham event against Cuba. It is the second year in a row that the Trump administration has waged a campaign to influence the vote on the U.N. resolution.
The head of the International Monetary Fund says the United States and other wealthy nations need to urgently tackle mounting global debt levels that are weighing heaviest on low-income countries. IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said Wednesday that just trying to grow the U.S. economy out of its more than $40 trillion in national debt would not suffice. Speaking at the autumn meeting of the IMF and World Bank in Bangkok, she said the U.S. needs to save more, China should spend more and Europe should increase investment levels. Georgieva and other financial leaders say rising debt and global inflation have pushed interest rates to multidecade highs, adding to the debt burdens of the world's poorest nations.

CNN, MS NOW and Politico say they’ve notified President Donald Trump's administration that they’re filing a lawsuit over being denied White House access. Reporters from the three major news organizations were blocked from the White House on Saturday, a day after Trump said he was barring them because of reporting he found to be “fake news.” The actions were a clear escalation of Trump’s long-running efforts in the courts and through administrative action to restrict news coverage by journalists he finds objectionable and were the latest test of First Amendment protections in the United States. Trump had said Friday he would ban all three outlets because of coverage he disliked.
