Will Have To Cross That Bridge: Jaishankar On USs 500% Tariff On Russian Oil Imports

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar suggested that India has shared its concerns with U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham over his bill proposing a 500% tariff on nations buying oil from Russia.

“I think our concerns and our interests in energy security have been made conversant to him,” Dr. Jaishankar said while replying to a media query in Washington D.C. on Wednesday (July 2, 2025).

A legislation proposed by Graham calls for imposing 500% tariffs on nations buying oil from Russia if Moscow refuses to participate in peace negotiations with Ukraine.
