America warned India and China that if these two countries continue to buy oil, gas or petrochemicals from Russia, 500% tariff will be imposed on them. American Senator Richard Blumenthal said this in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. Targeting India and China, he said, 500 percent tariff should be imposed on any country that buys oil, gas and petrochemicals from Russia. Both countries buy 70% of Russia’s oil.
Let us tell you that this statement of America has come at a time when Russia has strongly advocated for restarting the India-China-Russia (RIC) triangle. Senators Blumenthal and Lindsay Graham say that if Russia does not hold peace talks with Ukraine, then America will impose 500% tariff. According to sources, there is also a discussion on bringing a new law to put pressure on Russia. It talks about imposing 500% tariff on countries buying oil-gas-uranium from Russia. This may be discussed in the US Senate next week.
What is RIC
Actually, Russia has talked about restarting the India-China-Russia triangle (RIC) which was stalled after the 2020 Galwan clash. Last Friday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the border tension between India and China has reduced, now is the right time to start RIC meetings. Russia believes that this triangle will increase its strength in Asia and keep India a little away from the camp of Western countries.
