India's Jaishankar Hits Back Against Washington's Objection to Purchases of Russian Oil

On Aug. 25, RT reported that India’s Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar spoke at an event organized by the Economic Times in New Delhi, and said: “If you have a problem buying oil or refined products from India, don’t buy it. Nobody forces you to buy it. Europe buys, America buys, so you don’t like it, don’t buy it.” This was in response, among other things, to U.S. Trade Representative Peter Navarro’s charge earlier in the week that such purchases are “a refining profit-sharing scheme. It’s a laundromat for the Kremlin.”
