US THREATENS INDIA OVER OIL
US official warns India, others against increasing Russian oil imports
A significant increase in Russian oil imports by India could expose New Delhi to a “great risk” as the US prepares to step up enforcement of sanctions against Moscow, a senior official said.
A significant increase in Russian oil imports by India could expose New Delhi to a “great risk” as the United States prepares to step up enforcement of sanctions against Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine, a senior U.S. administration official said.
While the current U.S. sanctions against Russia do not prevent other countries from buying Russian oil, the warning raises expectations that Washington will attempt to restrict other countries’ purchases to normal levels.
The U.S. official’s comment comes ahead of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s two-day visit to New Delhi and during the ongoing visit of U.S. deputy national security adviser for economics Daleep Singh.
