India warns that the US bill authorizes President Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on major buyers of Russian oil, which could damage the relationship between New Delhi and Washington and disrupt global energy markets. The US Congress finally approved the far-reaching sanctions bill on Wednesday and will be submitted to Trump for signature. According to a White House official, the president plans to sign the bill within the next few days. New Delhi issued a strongly worded statement on Thursday saying that India has discussed this issue with US officials in recent months. India's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “India has very clearly explained the potential impact of this issue not only on bilateral relations, but also on the international energy market.”
