‘Will Cross That Bridge When…’ Jaishankar Responds to 500% US Tariff Threat Over Russia Bill
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar addressed growing concerns over Senator Lindsey Graham’s proposed U.S. sanctions bill, which threatens a 500% tariff on countries importing Russian oil. With over 80 Senate co-sponsors, the bill may become veto-proof. Jaishankar confirmed India’s embassy and ambassador are in active contact with Graham, and emphasized India’s energy and security interests. He clarified that India will deal with the situation “if and when it comes.” The proposed bill has sparked global concern, with potential carve-outs for Ukraine-supporting nations. As India continues energy imports from Russia, this development could test India-US ties.
