Summary:
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated on March 6 that the United States might ease sanctions on additional Russian oil following a 30-day waiver granted to India for purchasing Russian crude. The waiver permits India to buy only Russian oil shipments already en route as of March 5. Previously, the Trump administration had increased tariffs on India due to its imports of Russian oil amid U.S. efforts to limit funding for Russia’s war in Ukraine. Bessent indicated that the Treasury Department plans to continue announcing measures aimed at providing market relief during the ongoing conflict.

Scripture: Proverbs 11:1 (NASB 1977)
"A false balance is an abomination to the LORD,
But a just weight is His delight."

When major powers fine-tune pressure and relief around Russian oil, it highlights how economic tools can become instruments of leverage and control across nations.
