Trump has waived key sanctions and tariff provisions under the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, giving India major relief from the threat of a 100% tariff over its purchases of Russian oil.
The US President cited US national interest while suspending the relevant duties and sanctions. The Graham Act had provided for a potential 100% additional tariff on goods from major buyers of Russian crude oil and natural gas, including countries making qualifying new purchases from October 18, 2026.
But is India completely safe from Trump's Russian oil tariffs?
Not exactly.
The latest executive order waives the application of the relevant duties for now, while US authorities will continue monitoring countries buying Russian energy. The waiver can also be revisited in the future.
In this video, we explain:
Why Trump waived the 100% Russian oil tariff threat
What the Lindsey Graham Act 2026 is
Why India was facing the risk of a 100% US tariff
India's dependence on Russian crude oil
How Russian oil became important for India's energy security
What the Trump waiver means for India
Impact on India-US trade relations
What happens to the India-US trade deal
Why the waiver may not be permanent
How Trump's Russia policy is changing
What this means for the Russia-Ukraine War
Why China is also important in the latest US decision
The move comes at a critical time for India-US trade negotiations and global energy markets. Recent reporting also highlights the US administration's changing approach toward Russian energy, including its recent Russian diesel arrangement.
Watch the video to understand Trump's latest decision, India's Russian oil strategy, the Graham Act, US sanctions and what this could mean for India-US relations and India's energy security.
