India is diversifying its sources to import crude oil, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor said on Friday, indicating that New Delhi may soon start to import Venezuelan oil.
Speaking on the sidelines of the India AI Impact Summit 2026, Gor said that negotiations are underway with India’s energy ministry on importing Venezuelan oil to India.
“On the oil, there’s an agreement. We have seen India diversify on their oil. There is a commitment,” the US Ambassador said.
He noted that buying Russian oil was not just about India.
“The United States doesn’t want anyone buying Russian oil. The President has been very clear on this and wants this war to end,” Gor told reporters on Friday.
