In a Fox News interview after his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that he will not impose secondary sanctions—for now—on nations importing Russian oil, offering temporary relief to major buyers like India and China. India, already hit with a 50% tariff on exports to the U.S. due to its Russian oil trade, could benefit from this pause. Trump emphasized the decision might be reviewed within two to three weeks, keeping pressure on Moscow while avoiding immediate disruption to global energy markets. The move signals a strategic wait-and-watch approach. (PC: Reuters)
