Russian oil deal could place New Delhi on ‘wrong side of history’: US
Washington [US], March 16 (ANI): The United States on Tuesday (local time) said India would not be violating US sanctions by purchasing discounted Russian oil but added that such a move would put the world’s largest democracy on the “wrong side of history”.
Asked about the reports of India considering a Russian offer to buy crude oil and other commodities at discount prices a week after the US banned all Russian energy imports, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the Joe Biden administration’s message would be for countries to abide by US sanctions.
“I don’t believe this would be violating that, but also think about where you want to stand,” Psaki said.
