A proposed amendment targets countries buying oil from Russia, making them eligible for significant tariffs. This amendment specifically identifies several nations, including India, that could face duties of up to 100 per cent. The legislation, which aims to sanction Russia, has already passed the US Senate with a significant majority.

The bill is now awaiting a vote in the US House of Representatives. An amendment introduced by a Democratic Congressman proposes to explicitly name several countries, including India, as eligible for these duties.

Further details about the proposed legislation and its potential impact are available from the source.
