  "account": "Indonesia's economy minister, Airlangga Hartarto, affirmed on Wednesday that the country's Russian crude deal in April will remain unaffected by the new US tariff policy. The new tariffs, authorized by US President Donald Trump last week, can reach up to 100 percent on goods exported from the top five buyers of Russian oil or gas. The policy also applies to countries knowingly purchasing Russian energy 30 days after the law takes effect and to the top five countries aiding Russia in evading sanctions.\n\nWhen asked about any potential review of the Russian oil import plan to circumvent the US tariffs, Airlangga dismissed the notion. \"There's no reassessment,\" he stated on September 23, clarifying that they took advantage of a specific window when Russian oil imports were permitted. Indonesia began importing Russian crude in April under a new government-to-government agreement, although the volume purchased was significantly lower compared to India and China, which are the commodity's top two global buyers in 2021, according to the Institute for Energy Research (IER).",
  "summary": "According to the coordinating economy minister, Indonesia's Russian crude deal in April will not be subject to the new tariff, as it was agreed during a window when it was allowed.",
