'Following': India on US bill seeking 100% tariffs
India is closely monitoring a proposed US bill that seeks to impose up to 100% tariffs on countries, including India and China, that purchase Russian crude oil. The legislation, backed by around 60 US Senators, aims to cut off revenue for Russian President Vladimir Putin amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal emphasized India's diverse energy sourcing strategy in response to the bill's implications.
