Washington Turns Russian Oil Sanctions Into an India-China Tariff Lever

The U.S. House passed a sweeping Russia sanctions package in a 262-159 vote and sent it to President Donald Trump. The bill targets Russian officials, banks, sanctions-evasion networks and the shadow fleet, while authorizing duties on countries that buy Russian-origin crude oil or natural gas or facilitate evasion. India responded on September 17 that it would protect energy security, diversified sourcing, trade interests and the bilateral relationship.
