‘If you don’t like it, don’t buy it’: Jaishankar on Trump’s secondary sanctions on India’s Russian oil trade

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday defended India’s energy ties with Russia, saying that New Delhi’s oil purchases were both in national and global interest.

Speaking at the Economic Times World Leaders Forum (ET WLF), he underlined that India would continue to take decisions independently, even as trade remains a ‘sticking point’ in discussions with the United States.
