During his visit to New Delhi, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed concerns about racist remarks against Indians in the United States, describing such comments as the actions of "stupid people" found in every country.

Rubio also highlighted the significant economic contributions of Indian-origin communities and clarified that recent US immigration policy changes are part of a global modernization effort, not targeted specifically at India.
