India is expected to maintain its current levels of Russian crude oil imports after U.S. President Donald Trump waived sanctions and tariffs mandated by the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act. Trump issued an executive order on October 16, 2026, just before the 30-day enforcement deadline, allowing major buyers like India to avoid new tariffs of up to 100% on Russian crude and gas imports.
