India awaits how Trump will buy Russian diesel

India is closely monitoring President Donald Trump's decision to purchase Russian diesel, despite the potential violation of the Russia and Iran Sanctions Act. This move, which could be seen as hypocritical, may be an attempt to secure concessions for the US while avoiding a full sanctions violation. India's energy purchases from Russia are already under scrutiny due to the strain on bilateral ties caused by delays in a trade pact and growing US-Pakistan relations.

The US President has assured India that the diesel supply will help lower diesel prices, a priority for American voters ahead of the midterm elections.
