RoydadNaft – <\/a><\/span>\u00a0India\u2019s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has said that New Delhi has raised concerns with U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham regarding a proposed bill that threatens to impose massive tariffs, up to 500%, on countries that continue importing oil from Russia.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a press conference in Washington, Jaishankar acknowledged the potential implications of the legislation, which primarily targets countries like India and China due to their ongoing energy ties with Moscow,\u00a0citing foreign sources.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny development in the U.S. Congress is of interest to us if it impacts or could impact our interests,\u201d Jaishankar said. \u201cWe have been in touch with Senator Graham. The embassy and our ambassador have been in contact as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

He emphasized that India has made its stance clear, particularly regarding energy security. \u201cOur concerns and our interests on energy security have been communicated to him,\u201d he added. \u201cSo, we\u2019ll then have to cross that bridge when we come to it\u2014if we come to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bill, if passed, could significantly disrupt India\u2019s energy trade and strain U.S.-India economic ties, prompting close diplomatic engagement between the two countries as the proposal progresses through the U.S. legislative process.<\/p>\n
