India Monitors US Bill Proposing Tariffs on Russian Oil Importers
India is closely monitoring a proposed US bipartisan bill that could impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries importing Russian oil, including India. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) emphasized that India's energy procurement is guided by national priorities and the need to secure reliable, affordable supplies through diversified sources, including the US. The legislation aims to increase economic pressure on Russia amid its war in Ukraine. India continues diplomatic engagement with US authorities as the bill advances in Congress.
