India and China are counted among the world's largest buyers of Russian crude oil. A new law in the United States reportedly grants President Donald Trump the authority to impose tariffs of up to 100 percent on both countries. This move is said to be linked to their continued purchase of Russian crude oil. However, both India and China have clearly stated that ensuring energy security for their citizens remains their top priority. This suggests that both countries may continue their stance of buying Russian oil, even as the threat of US tariffs looms.
