美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥在访印期间表示，美国的签证限制和关税措施并非针对印度。他还暗示，长期悬而未决的双边贸易协定可能在几周内敲定。
Visiting US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said American visa restrictions and tariffs were not intended to target India. He also indicated that the long-pending bilateral trade agreement could be finalised within weeks.
美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥试图缓解外界对华盛顿贸易和移民政策的担忧，称美国的签证限制并非针对印度，关税也非意在惩罚新德里。
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has sought to ease concerns over Washington’s trade and immigration policies, saying US visa restrictions are not targeted at India and tariffs are not intended to punish New Delhi.
他在正在进行的访印行程中（这是他五个月内第二次访印）对《印度快报》表示：“我们正试图修复长达20年、因移民制度未被切实执行而遭忽视的问题，这并非针对印度。”
“We are trying to fix 20 years of neglect of an immigration system that was simply not being enforced, and that’s not targeted at India,” he told The Indian Express during his ongoing visit to India, his second in five months.
此番言论正值印度对美国就业类绿卡流程重燃不确定性之际：特朗普政府本月早些时候暂停了八家科技巨头参与永久劳工认证（PERM）项目的资格。
His remarks come amid renewed uncertainty in India over the US employment-based Green Card process after President Donald Trump's administration suspended eight tech giants from the Permanent Labour Certification (PERM) programme earlier this month.
PERM是雇主担保绿卡流程中的关键步骤。虽然该暂停令不直接影响新的H-1B签证申请，但引发了外界对外籍专业人士（尤其是寻求赴美工作的印度人）长期职业前景的担忧。H-1B签证在特朗普政府时期也面临压力。
PERM is a key step in the employer-sponsored Green Card process. While the suspension does not directly affect new H-1B visa applications, it has raised concerns over the long-term career prospects of foreign professionals, particularly Indians seeking to work in the US. H-1B visas have also faced pressure under the Trump administration.
根据美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）数据，2025年H-1B申请人中，印度裔占69.9%，共计283,772人。
According to US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) data, Indian nationals accounted for 69.9 per cent of H-1B applicants in 2025, with 283,772 applicants.
针对美国关税措施（包括针对进口俄罗斯石油和天然气国家的措施）引发的担忧，鲁比奥承认此类举措可能影响经贸关系，需要审慎处理。这位国务卿进一步强调，美国无意利用关税损害与印度的关系。
Addressing concerns over US tariffs, including measures announced against countries importing Russian oil and gas, Rubio acknowledged that such steps could affect economic ties and would need careful management. The Secretary of State further stressed that the US did not intend to use tariffs to damage its relationship with India.
他对《印度快报》表示：“这些关税没有任何一项是为了惩罚或伤害印度”，同时坚称妥善管控该问题至关重要。
“None of these tariffs are done to punish or to harm India,” he told The Indian Express while asserting the importance of managing the issue carefully.
鲁比奥的保证是在特朗普豁免针对俄罗斯能源主要买家的制裁、限制和关税仅仅几天之后作出的，距离拟议的对印度征收100%关税生效还有一天。
Rubio's assurance came just days after Trump waived sanctions, restrictions and duties targeting major buyers of Russian energy, a day before the proposed 100 per cent tariffs on India were due to take effect.
总统的决定暂停了本可能对包括印度和中国在内的国家商品征收高达100%关税的措施。该豁免将持续有效，直到特朗普或其政府认定有必要采取进一步行动。
The President's decision put on hold measures that could have imposed tariffs of up to 100 per cent on goods from countries including India and China. The waiver will remain in effect until Trump or his administration determines that further action is necessary.
与此同时，他表示有信心长期悬而未决的美印贸易协定可能在几周内敲定，剩余分歧主要集中在对特定词语和措辞的解读上。他形容谈判呈积极态势，但同时警告最终细节仍需敲定。
Meanwhile, he expressed confidence that the long-pending India-US trade deal could be finalised within weeks, with the remaining differences largely centred on the interpretation of specific words and phrases. He described the negotiations as being on a positive trajectory, while cautioning that the final details still needed to be settled.
“我认为我们非常接近了。我的说法是，我们距离敲定它还有几周，而不是几个月，”他对该报表示，并补充说他认为99%的工作已经完成。
“I think we’re incredibly close. The way I would say it is, we are weeks, not months, away from, I think, finalising it,” he told the newspaper, adding that he believed 99 per cent of the work was done.
针对新德里对华盛顿与巴基斯坦军方领导层接触的担忧，鲁比奥表示，美国与其他国家的关系不会以牺牲其与印度的伙伴关系为代价。
Seeking to address concerns in New Delhi over Washington’s engagement with Pakistan’s military leadership, Rubio said US relations with other countries would not come at the expense of its partnership with India.
他说，华盛顿不认为其与巴基斯坦或任何其他国家的关系是以牺牲与新德里的关系为代价的交易。
He said Washington did not view its relationship with Pakistan, or any other country, as a trade-off against ties with New Delhi.
