India is confident of meeting its oil needs from alternative sources if Russian supplies are hit by secondary sanctions, oil minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Thursday.

Bipartisan senators Graham and Blumenthal lauded Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs against Moscow and vowed to continue working on their own "sledgehammer" sanctions package.
