US and Indian top diplomats discuss Russia sanctions bill signed by Trump
India warned the bill could hurt energy security for its 1.4 billion people and affect bilateral ties, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Indian External Affairs Minister Jaishankar met U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in New York during the 81st United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week to discuss India's concerns regarding the Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act.
- Passed by the U.S. Senate and House by 262-159, the Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act authorizes tariffs of up to 100% on major importers of Russian oil and gas, directly impacting India and China.
- India remains "firmly committed to ensuring energy security for its 1.4 billion people," the Ministry said, emphasizing supply stability "through diversified sourcing and on the basis of evolving market dynamics."
- Rubio noted that recent oil price increases stem primarily from geopolitical risks in Yemen and Ukraine rather than developments near the Strait of Hormuz, addressing broader regional tensions with Jaishankar.
- Signaling commitment to West Asia stability, the U.S. would support Saudi Arabia if regional tensions escalate, while India's government monitors Congress developments to assess impacts on future energy imports.
