The White House expressed confidence that the strong foundation of India-US relations can help the two nations navigate the ongoing crisis surrounding bribery charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre addressed the allegations during a press briefing, stating that the Biden administration is aware of the charges against Adani, the chairman of Adani Group.
Adani, 62, was indicted in New York along with his nephew Sagar Adani, 30, and other executives for their roles in an alleged multibillion-dollar bribery and fraud scheme.
“We are aware of these allegations, and I would have to refer you to the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and DOJ (Department of Justice) about the specifics of those allegations against the Adani group,” Jean-Pierre said.
“What I will say is, on the US and India relationship, we believe that it stands on an extremely strong foundation, anchored in ties between our people and cooperation across a full range of global issues.”
