US President Donald Trump has waived key sanctions and tariffs linked to Russian oil and gas, easing pressure on countries buying Russian energy.

The move pauses proposed tariffs of up to 100% on goods from major buyers of Russian oil and gas, including India and China.

The decision gives India more freedom to buy Russian crude without this immediate tariff threat.

India relies heavily on imported oil, with Russia being a major supplier. The waiver gives India more room to secure affordable energy.
