India must not let energy security become a US trade ‘weapon’, warns GTRI

·Economic Times·Impact 3/5 · Notable

A US think tank, GTRI, has warned India that its energy security should not be used as a trade weapon by the US. This warning comes as India's reliance on Russian oil has increased since 2022, and the US has recently passed legislation allowing tariffs on countries that heavily import Russian energy. If India's goods face tariffs as high as 100%, it may be forced to limit its oil imports from Russia. This could have significant implications for India's energy security and trade relationships.
