US Senator Lindsey Graham has claimed that Indian Ambassador to the US Vinay Kwatra informed him about New Delhi reducing its purchases of Russian oil and asked him to convey to President Donald Trump to “relieve the tariff” imposed on India.
Graham, accompanying Trump on Air Force One Sunday, spoke about his tariff bill that seeks to impose 500 per cent levies on imports from countries buying Russian oil.
He said that to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict, pressure must be put on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s customers. Trump said that the sanctions are hurting Russia very badly, and then mentioned India.
Graham then said that the US put a 25 per cent tariff on India for buying Russian oil.
I was at the Indian Ambassador’s house about a month ago, and all he wanted to talk about was how they are buying less Russian oil,” Graham said.
He added that the Indian envoy conveyed to him, “Would you tell the President to relieve the tariff?”
