India awaits Trump decision on Russia oil waiver
In short
India is waiting to see what Trump will do about a possible waiver tied to buying energy from Russia. A publisher summary says India is studying the announcement, and that Trump’s September 30 call with Prime Minister Narendra Modi was described as good.
