US Deputy NSA Dalip Singh had threatened India regarding India-Russia trade. America has now clarified on this. The White House said that Dalip Singh, who played a key role in framing US sanctions against Russia, did not give any warnings to India during his visit to New Delhi.
America’s Deputy National Security Advisor (Deputy NSA) Dalip Singh said in a media briefing during his visit to India – no one will believe that if China violates the LAC, then Russia is running to India’s help. Will come
America said – Dalip Singh’s statement is not a warning
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, while answering a question about Dalip Singh’s visit to India, said – I do not consider him a warning. He had positive talks with the Indian side. India accounts for 1-2% of its oil imports from Russia, while about 10% comes from the US. It is the personal decision of India and other countries whether to import oil from Russia or not. Duleep had said that India’s purchase of energy from Russia is not a violation of US sanctions at present, but we want India to reduce its dependence on Russia.
America upset with India’s stand
This statement by the US deputy NSA was seen as a shudder of the Biden administration due to India’s neutrality in the Ukraine-Russia war. America is stunned by the failure of every bet to get India’s side against Russia. This is the reason why America offered India to import oil and gas from its country instead of Russia. Not only this, America had said that if India ends its dependence on Russian weapons, then it will give arms to India.
America does not want to be against India
America does not want to anger India, because it needs to be with India against China. Apart from this, India is the largest market in the world. In such a situation, if India gets angry then America may have to pay a heavy price. Till now India has not taken any side between Russia and America and has been neutral. In such a situation, if India takes Russia’s side, then the sanctions imposed by America on Russia will not have any effect.
