White house trade adviser Peter Navarro has criticized India's purchase of Russian oil as "opportunistic," undermining global efforts to isolate Russia.
The exodus of companies from Russia after the Ukraine conflict and the thousands of sanctions imposed on Moscow could deter businesses from returning, even if given the opportunity.
If the flow of Russian oil is disrupted, India could lose $11 billion annually, Moscow would face further budgetary pressure, and global inflation would soar.
