What happened

Well supportedReported by 6 independent outlets

Donald Trump has waived tariffs that Congress passed against countries importing Russian oil, which relieves immediate trade pressure on India. Despite this reprieve, the Trump administration has pressured India to reduce its purchases of Russian crude, arguing that India is financing the Ukraine war. India continues to source over 30 per cent of its crude imports from Russia.

Previously, Donald Trump had threatened to double tariffs on Indian exports unless India cut Russian oil imports. Furthermore, India's refined petroleum products are noted as vital for helping the United States curb domestic inflation.
