India's large-scale import of Russian oil has caused dissatisfaction in the United States.

The U.S. Treasury Secretary, Bernanke, yesterday (Beijing Time, August 19 evening) addressed India: "Before the Ukraine war, less than 1% of India's oil came from Russia, and now this proportion has reached 42%. This system allows India to make huge profits by purchasing cheap Russian oil and reselling it, earning an extra $16 billion in profit. This opportunistic arbitrage is unacceptable."

[Witty] Comment: During Biden's era, the U.S. tried to court India, so it turned a blind eye to India's actions. After Trump took office half a year later, the situation changed dramatically, and the U.S. suddenly started pressuring India. Netizens have different opinions on the U.S. Treasury Secretary's views. A foreign netizen pointed out: "But they still haven't blown up the pipelines to prevent Europe from getting cheap Russian natural gas, and then sold expensive U.S. natural gas to Europe. Talking about opportunistic arbitrage! Hypocrite incarnate."
