Washington, Sept. 24 -- External affairs minister S Jaishankar said on Wednesday that he raised New Delhi's concerns over a new US legislation that enables up to 100% tariffs on the top Russian energy buyers in a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly's High Level Week in New York. The Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act (SRIA) of 2026, signed into law last week, gives US President Donald Trump the authority to levy up to 100% tariffs on the top five purchasers of Russian oil and gas. India, China, Azerbaijan, Slovakia and Hungary are presently implicated by this provision. "Reiterated India's interests and concerns with regard to SRIA. Also discussed the Gulf and Ukraine situations," Jaishankar said in a post on X on Wednesday. In a statement after the meeting, Rubio said that the US is coordinating with India on "regional priorities" and "multilateral efforts". SEE PAGE 13...
