US senators urge Biden to avoid India sanctions over Russian deal

Al Jazeera  

India signed $5.5bn deal with Russia in 2018 for the surface-to-air missile systems for defence against long-time adversaries Pakistan and China. Two United States senators have urged President Joe Biden to waive sanctions against India over its purchase of Russia’s S-400 air defence system, saying such a punitive measure would endanger growing cooperation. They said they were concerned the transfer of the Russian systems would trigger sanctions against India under the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, which was enacted to hold Russia accountable for interfering in US elections, cyber-hacking and bullying Ukraine. “Imposing sanctions at this time could derail deepening cooperation with India across all aspects of our bilateral relationship – from vaccines to defence cooperation, from energy strategy to technology-sharing.”
