US President Donald Trump has backed a proposed Russia sanctions bill that could impose tariffs of up to 500% on countries buying Russian oil, including India. The bill would allow the US President to penalise imports from nations trading with Russia's energy sector. Trump said the proposal has a good chance of becoming law. The White House confirmed his support for the bill. India is one of Russia's biggest oil buyers, though imports have fallen in recent months. If the bill is passed, it could affect India-US trade and increase pressure on countries to reduce purchases of Russian energy.
