Trump Halts 100% Russia Oil Tariff After US-Russia Diesel Deal

tamil.oneindia.com (Tamil) —

US President Donald Trump has suspended the implementation of a 100 percent tariff on countries purchasing Russian crude oil, a measure that was set to take effect tomorrow and threatened India and China. The decision halts penalties under the Lindsey Graham Russia Sanctions Act 2026, which allowed tariffs on major Russian energy buyers. Trump cited a waiver of sanctions and restrictions, just one day before the law was to be enforced. The suspension follows a US-Russia deal for Washington to purchase diesel from Moscow, amid rising American diesel prices ahead of November 3 midterm elections. This made the tariff contradictory to US interests.
