What happened

Well supportedReported by 11 independent outlets

Donald Trump authorized tariffs on imports from major purchasers of Russian oil and gas, including India and China, with penalties potentially reaching 100%. This action followed the signing of a bipartisan sanctions bill. Despite the sanctions, the US Treasury Department temporarily eased restrictions on Russian diesel transactions after Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to supply diesel to American and global markets.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The authorization puts India and China at risk of significant trade penalties due to their continued Russian oil purchases. The policy creates a contradiction, as the United States is simultaneously seeking Russian fuel while penalizing major buyers of Russian energy.

Donald Trump has considered tariffs on oil buyers in China and India, while Lindsey Graham and European leaders advocate for sanctions against Moscow.
