      I mean the only reason they stopped was the tariffs and those are gone now (having every country pay the same tariff means they are back to a level playing field for exports)

      I hope the Australian government buys „Indian“ oil. No way we let our petrol prices explode for Ukraine.

      lol in the statement India even says: we never stopped buying Russian oil, even when the sanctions/tariffs were going to be removed by the us for a deal we still kept and still do buy Russian oil they remain our best supplier and we will continue to do what we want when we want

      Neither Ind stopped buying Russian oil after US sanctions , nor Ind resumed buying oil from Russ after US waiver.

      Ind just keeps buying less or more irrespective of sanctions or waivers .

      When Ind lowers the volumes of purchase from Russ US starts claiming that India has „stopped“ buying from Russia and similarly when India increases the volumes US starts claiming that they have given „Permission“ to India to buy from Russia .

      This is not new, even under Biden administration when they couldn’t stop Ind despite sanctions, they eventually started claiming that they were the one’s who told ind to buy cheap russian oil and sell it to Europe.

      India doesn’t actually need permission(and Russia was still its biggest supplier of oil as of February) but it does need a sanctions waiver from Trump to prevent this from spiraling into another diplomatic standoff with the US.

      Trump has ensured Americas permanent future irrelevance. Good job voters.

      As an Indian, I don’t understand why this is news- we never stopped buying Russian oil, nor do we need US‘ permission to do so. We are a sovereign nation and in charge of our decisions lmao.

      Oil is something India cant afford to buy at higher prices or not have options to buy from

      Sanctions or not, India needs Oil and will buy the cheapest available. Obviously it will try to accommodate but this ‘permission’ business is not going to fly.

      We buy, we refine, we sell it to the US.

      All of it carries US tariffs for anyone buying the refined oil. Private players like Ambani and Adani backed off. State companies didn’t. They’re still buying and are stocking about a month’s inventory as I type this.

      Watch the administration do nothing. Bust they’ll cut off all trade with Spain because they can’t don’t want them using their bases to bomb Iranian schools.

      Please cut off offshoring to India. It weakens our companies and our workforce to save executives money.

      I mean, Trump imposed tariffs and just thought the world won’t try to just trade with each other directly.

      India never stopped buying Russian oil. They reduced their imports but never stopped

      Let me give you permission to do something you are doing and will continue to do.

      But my permission will make it legal. So we all will look good.

      Just pat him on the head, give him a gold trinket and a headline in can sell to his cult. Everything will be fine,

      Time for the USA to start taxing every American company that offshores jobs to India.
