First Deputy Head of the US Treasury Advale Adeyo, during a working visit to India, discussed the introduction of a ceiling of prices for Russian oil with representatives of local authorities and large businesses.
The United States, according to the official, is concerned that a decrease in the availability of Russian oil from December 5 will lead to an increase in prices for it. Based on the results of the visit, Adeimo said that in India “they are interested in joining the global coalition to limit prices to contain the cost of Russian fuel”, as this is consistent with the country’s goals to reduce prices for this energy carrier.
Earlier, The Economic Times reported that India will not join the plan to limit the cost of Russian oil on the world market until a consensus with all customers has reached, TASS said.
