India Says It Is Closely Monitoring US Bill Proposing 100% Tariffs on Russian Oil Buyers

The US Senate recently passed a bill that would authorize President Donald Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100 percent on countries purchasing Russian oil and gas. India, along with China, is among the major buyers that could be affected by the proposed legislation. New Delhi responded on Friday, stating that it is closely monitoring the developing situation. The move signals potential trade tensions between India and the United States over India's continued energy ties with Russia.
