The US Senate has advanced a major sanctions bill aimed at penalizing nations that purchase Russian and Iranian oil, potentially imposing 100% tariffs on imports from India and China.
The legislation, supported by a large majority of senators, seeks to tighten economic pressure on Moscow in response to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
The move has sparked significant diplomatic concern in New Delhi, as officials assess the potential impact of these trade barriers on India's energy security and bilateral economic ties.
