Although Western countries have expressed concern about India’s move, India has made it clear that it will not compromise on its interests.Throughout this, America has made it clear that it will not impose any sanctions on India over this issue.The US has rejected some countries’ call for sanctions against India.
Karen Donfried, Assistant Secretary (European and Eurasian Affairs) at the US State Department, told the press that the US will not impose sanctions on India.
In reality, America wishes to economically devastate Russia.That is why it seeks to disrupt Russia’s oil supply.However, when it came to relations with India on this issue, the US prioritised the relationship, which has grown stronger in recent years, over imposing sanctions.America has made it clear that it can change some of its rules but cannot abandon India.
