Two United States senators have urged President Joe Biden to waive sanctions against India over its purchase of Russia’s S-400 air defence system, saying such a punitive measure would endanger growing cooperation.India signed a $5.5bn deal with Russia in 2018 for five of the surface-to-air missile systems for defence against long-time adversary Pakistan and China, with which it is locked in a standoff on their disputed border.But the proposed transfer has caused friction with the US, which passed a law in 2017 under which any country engaged with Russia’s defence and intelligence sectors could face sanctions.
