Video of US envoy admitting US wanted India to buy Russian oil resurfaces amid Trump’s threat
A video from 2024 showing then US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti admitting US wanted India to buy Russian oil has resurfaced amid President Donald Trump's threat to raise tariff on India. "They bought Russian oil because we wanted somebody to buy Russian oil at a price cap...We didn't want oil prices going up, and they fulfilled that," Garcetti said.
