US President Donald Trump waived key Russian sanctions which may enhance trade relations with India. This decision is expected to provide negotiating space for a potential trade deal. India, one of the largest importers of Russian oil, faces challenges due to declining imports. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is visiting India to discuss cooperation on this matter. The waiver could help India secure more favorable tariffs while stabilizing energy policies.
