"U.S. has no objection to India buying Russian oil provided it buys it at discount, without significantly increasing from previous years," said the source who spoke on condition of anonymity. "Some increase is allowed," said the source, who did not offer more detail. The U.S. Treasury Department declined comment and the White House's National Security Council did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
"As long as they are compliant with sanctions and not significantly raising purchases, we are okay," the source said.
