The US Congress has been warned against imposing any sanctions on countries like India and Indonesia, said a top US admiral on Wednesday. He has warned the Congress to not put sanctions on the mentioned countries for purchase of defence types of equipment from Russia and said that a move of such nature would raise concern for America’s defence relations in the Indo-Pacific. This would also lead to its partners’ to depending on Moscow. Admiral Philip S Davidson is a nominee for the US Pacific Command Commander.
