India Cautions Against 'Double Standards' Amid US Sanctions Threat Over Russian Oil

India has responded to warnings from the US and NATO about potential secondary sanctions on countries trading with Russia, cautioning against "double standards." The Ministry of External Affairs stated that securing India's energy needs is a top priority, guided by market availability and global circumstances. The statement follows threats from NATO's chief and moves by US lawmakers to impose heavy tariffs on countries, including India, that import Russian oil, complicating ongoing India-US trade negotiations and diplomatic relations.
