Rubio Heads to India as Trade Deal Nears and Russian Oil Looms. His two-day trip includes meetings with Foreign Minister Jaishankar and Reliance Industries chairman, Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani. Officials say negotiations are nearly complete, raising hopes the agreement could be signed during Rubio's upcoming visit. President Donald Trump waived potential tariffs Friday, removing a major obstacle linked to India's Russian oil purchases. The legislation authorizes tariffs reaching 100 percent against leading Russian oil importers, including India, behind only China. Rubio says India is diversifying energy supplies, although the country still purchases substantial quantities of Russian crude. Washington will review possible tariffs over 60 days, while lawmakers from both parties criticize Trump's waiver decision. Meanwhile, Washington's own agreement to import Russian diesel raises questions about its pressure on India's energy purchases.
