Trump waives up to 100% tariffs on India over Russian oil purchases, days before law takes effect
President Trump has waived the proposed 100% tariffs on India over its purchases of Russian oil, signing the waiver on 17 Oct, a day before the law's 18 Oct deadline. The waiver covers up to 100% tariffs on buyers of Russian oil and gas, though the president can reverse the decision later. India has consistently purchased Russian energy since the start of the war despite sanctions.
