Trump has learnt his India lesson the hard way but will he own up?

·Economic Times·Impact 3/5 · Notable
MeridStreet AI summary

Donald Trump has agreed to bring Russian diesel into global markets. This move comes after he imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian imports in an attempt to pressure New Delhi to stop buying Russian oil. The decision to reverse course suggests that Trump's strategy was not effective in achieving its intended goal, and US fuel prices are rising ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. This shift in policy may have significant implications for the global energy market and trade relationships between the US and India.
