Decision of each individual nation including India: US on Russia oil import

Dismissing the reports that sanctions imposed on Russia by the US may also be considered on other nations, the White House said that it is the decision of each individual country whether it is going to import Russian oil.

This comes after Deputy National Security Advisor (NSA) for International Economics Daleep Singh during his trip to India had warned not to purchase Russian oil.

Speaking at the press briefing, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Friday (local time) noted that India’s imports of Russian energy represent only 1 per cent to 2 per cent of their total energy imports.
