The US lets a waiver lapse, and India just shrugs and orders another round of Russian crude

American sanctions waiver or no waiver, India’s oil tankers are still on full cruise control!

New Delhi: The big mouth Trump and the silent Peter Navarro and Kash Patel are mocked yet again by India. India claims it has been buying Russian oil irrespective of American sanctions waivers. India is the top consumer of ​Russian seaborne crude, and its ​purchases have been near record-highs in April and May after previous sanctions ​waivers.

"Regarding the American waiver on Russia, ​I would like to emphasize that we have been purchasing from Russia earlier, I mean before waiver, during waiver, and now also," Sujata Sharma, a joint secretary in the petroleum ministry, said during a press-meet.


She further added, "It ‌is basically ‌the commercial sense which ‌should be ‌there for us to purchase. There is no shortage of crude. Enough crude has been tied up repeatedly and this, waiver or no waiver, it will not affect."

Meanwhile, the US on Saturday allowed ​a sanctions waiver to lapse that had previously allowed countries including India to buy Russian seaborne oil after a month-long extension aimed at easing oil supply shortages and high prices due to Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz. 45°C heatwave grips North India.

With so much befitting response from India, why US still pretend to dominate Asia? China or India, no one is in the state of mind to consider the US interests, nor wants any intervene from US.
