America softens on crude, Janet Yellen said- ‘India should buy as much crude oil as it wants from Russia, no objection’

New Delhi. After India’s clear attitude, the US has now said that it is happy that New Delhi continues to buy oil from Russia as much as it wants. If he wants to buy oil even at prices above the price cap system imposed by G7. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said this on Friday. Earlier, European countries including America were also pressurizing India to impose a price cap on Russian oil. In fact, due to the imposition of a price cap on Russian crude oil, the profit being made on selling crude oil to Moscow will reduce.

Yellen said in an interview to news agency Reuters at a conference organized to strengthen economic ties between the US and India that this cap will still reduce global oil prices while curbing Russia’s revenue. According to Yellen, Russia will not be able to sell as much oil as it does now that imports have been stopped by the European Union, without resorting to capped prices or significant discounts from current prices.

‘This is a good deal for India’
Yellen said the existence of a cap on oil prices would help India, China and other major buyers of Russian crude to reduce the price they pay to Moscow. Yellen said, “Russian oil is being sold at cheap prices and we are happy that India has got a better deal.”
