US Suspends Russia Sanctions, Easing Fuel Imports for India and China

tamil.news18.com (Tamil) —

The United States has temporarily suspended economic sanctions on Russia, providing relief to fuel-importing nations like India and China. The decision comes amid rising domestic fuel prices ahead of the November 3 parliamentary elections. President Donald Trump announced the pause, citing high diesel and fuel costs impacting the US economy and farmers. The move reverses a recent law allowing up to 100% import tariffs on countries buying Russian crude oil and gas. India, which relies on Russia for 45% of its crude oil imports, benefits from the eased restrictions. The suspension prioritizes reducing fuel expenses for agricultural and transport sectors.
