India Monitors US Bill Proposing Tariffs on Russian Oil Buyers Including India
India is monitoring a proposed US bipartisan bill that could impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries importing Russian crude oil, including India. The Ministry of External Affairs emphasized that India's energy purchases prioritize national interests and energy security for its population. Poland's Foreign Minister expressed support for the bill, aiming to increase economic pressure on Russia amid its war in Ukraine. The legislation also targets other countries importing Russian energy and expands sanctions on Iran's energy and weapons sectors.
