US gives India temporary permission to buy Russian oil

The United States has granted India a 30-day waiver, or special permission, to purchase Russian oil. This temporary license was issued as the conflict between Iran and Israel has created concerns about disruptions to global oil supplies.

President Donald Trump commented on the decision, saying the waiver was intended 'to take a little pressure off.' The move allows India to buy Russian oil cargoes that were previously stranded due to sanctions, helping to address supply issues from the West Asian region.
