The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) even said there was no such visit to the US by Doval. ADVERTISEMENT"Regarding the report by Bloomberg, I would like to say that there is absolutely no basis for that report. No such meeting or no such visit has taken place," MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at his weekly media briefing. It claimed that Doval also told Rubio that India would not be bullied by US President Donald Trump and his top aides, and that New Delhi was willing to wait out Trump's term.
