US says India is not violating any sanctions by importing oil from Russia
This statement came after the virtual meeting of PM Modi-Joe Biden
White House said talks between the two leaders were positive
India is not violating any sanctions by importing oil from Russia, the United States said on Monday as the two leaders – PM Modi and President Joe Biden – held a virtual meeting on global challenges, the Ukraine war, among other issues.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki made this statement in a press conference and said that the PM Modi-Biden talks were ‘constructive’.
The statement by the United States can be seen as a major change in its tone on India’s move to import oil from Russia, which was earlier saying that it was in India’s best interest to increase energy imports from Moscow. Will not done.
The US said that energy imports from Russia are not restricted or part of the sanctions, therefore, New Delhi is not violating US sanctions.
“It was a constructive call, it was a productive call. This is a relationship that is extremely important to the United States and the president. I will not view this as a regressive call,” a White House spokesman said.
On India buying Russian oil and whether Washington has capped New Delhi on energy imports, a White House spokesperson said energy imports are not banned and they do not violate our sanctions. “We certainly believe that every country is going to take a step in their interest.”
However, Psaki mentioned in the press briefing that Biden told PM Modi that it is not in India’s interest to increase every import from Russia.
Responding to media questions whether Joe Biden has asked PM Modi not to increase oil purchases from Russia, Saki said, “I will let PM Modi and Indians speak on that. It’s only 1-2 percent at present.” “They export 10 percent. The United States. It’s not infringing on any sanctions or anything along those lines.”
