Former U.S. Ambassador to the UN and Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley has urged India to reconsider its oil imports from Russia, warning that such actions could strain U.S.-India relations. Haley emphasized that while India is a strategic partner, continued reliance on Russian energy undermines global efforts to isolate Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine. She also criticized the Biden administration for being too lenient with India on this issue. Haley’s remarks reflect growing bipartisan pressure in Washington for India to align more closely with Western sanctions. The comments come amid broader discussions on India’s balancing act between strategic autonomy and global alliances. (PC: The New York Times)
