1. We want to make sure we do the work necessary and position it so, when they do meet, they'll have very specific deliverables and things that actually they can announce.
2. We'll also meet with Quad there, which is important. I think my first meeting as Secretary of State was with the Quad. I'm glad we are able to do it now in India and we're going to do one later in the year as well.
3. They are a great ally, a great partner. We do a lot of good work with them. And so it is an important trip. I'm glad we're able to do it because I think there'll be a lot for us to talk about.
4. Well, we want to sell them as much energy as they'll buy. And obviously, you've seen I think we're at historic levels of US production, and US export.
5. There's a lot to work on with India, they're a great ally and partner. We do a lot of good work with them so this is an important trip.
