India Rejects US Sanctions Bill Over Russian Oil

India said it will take necessary measures to protect its trade and economic interests after the US House of Representatives passed a bill imposing sanctions over Russian oil purchases. A US senator said India should buy its oil elsewhere, and India warned that new US tariffs tied to Russian oil could damage bilateral ties. India vowed to protect its energy security, while China also pushed back against the US pressure. The bill could give President Donald Trump more leverage in trade talks with India.
