India Warns New US Tariffs Over Russian Oil Could Impact Bilateral Ties

India has warned that new tariffs imposed by the United States over its purchases of Russian oil could affect relations between the two countries, according to a report by Al Jazeera.

New Delhi said it has "made clear" its determination to "protect its trade and economic interests," the report said, though further details of the specific tariff measures were not immediately available in the source material.

The warning comes amid ongoing tensions over India's continued purchases of Russian oil, which have drawn scrutiny from Washington as part of broader efforts related to sanctions on Russia.

India has previously defended its energy purchasing decisions as necessary for its economic needs, while the United States has sought to pressure countries that continue trade relations with Russia following the conflict in Ukraine.

Al Jazeera did not provide additional specifics on the scale of the new tariffs or a timeline for their implementation in the reported excerpt.

This is a developing story and further details may emerge as both governments respond to the situation.
