Trump helping Russia again
US gives India "30-day waiver" to allow some Russian oil sales
The United States has given India a “30-day waiver” to purchase Russian oil currently stranded at sea as the conflict in the Middle East continues to cause energy disruptions.
“To enable oil to keep flowing into the global market, the Treasury Department is issuing a temporary 30-day waiver to allow Indian refiners to purchase Russian oil,” US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a post on X. “This deliberately short-term measure will not provide significant financial benefit to the Russian government as it only authorizes transactions involving oil already stranded at sea.”
The announcement comes amid growing energy supply fears and as the Trump administration scrambles to limit the economic fallout from the war in the Middle East. It also comes months after Trump slapped India with tariffs in a bid to pressure its government to stop purchasing Moscow’s crude.
India emerged as one of Russia’s largest buyers of crude oil after the invasion of Ukraine, but the country has been cutting back in recent months in response to pressure from Washington.
