Trump Waives Russian Oil Tariffs, Easing Pressure on India Before Midterms

President Trump has waived tariffs on Russian oil imports, a temporary measure aimed at stabilizing U.S. fuel prices and easing pressure on India ahead of midterm elections. The reprieve is designed to maintain consistency in energy deals with Russia while addressing domestic fuel costs. The policy raises questions about its terms, duration, and potential impact on global oil markets and Washington's broader strategy toward Russian energy trade. Analysts are examining how the waiver might affect India's energy purchases, U.S. relations with Moscow, and whether it signals a temporary adjustment or a more permanent shift in trade policy.
