Indian-American Republican warns U.S. bill on Russian oil imports could strain India–U.S. ties / Facebook
An eminent Republican Indian American on Jan. 11 warned that the proposed U.S. legislation targeting countries importing Russian oil could hurt India-U.S. relations, cautioning that the timing and scale of the measure risk undermining ongoing trade negotiations between New Delhi and Washington.
In an interview with IANS, Ashok Mago, founder chairman of the Greater Dallas Indo American Chamber, now known as the U.S.-India Chamber of Commerce, said the move was “not very helpful while negotiations are going on between Delhi and Washington regarding the tariffs,” and argued that lawmakers should allow talks to reach a conclusion before escalating pressure.
