India not to buy Russian oil? US again says so in tariff cut order, but no final word from ministries in Delhi yet
Union commerce minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday shared some more details of the India-US trade deal being finalised but, when asked if India will indeed stop purchasing oil from Russia as asserted by Donald Trump-led United States, he said the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) will give information on that.
A White House order mentions this “stop” while announcing elimination of the 25% “penal” tariffs imposed on India for its oil purchases from Russia amid the the Ukraine war.
