A proposal from the Department of Homeland Security is currently under review at the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB), according to its website.

The Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said that India, being the second-largest buyer of Russian crude, is exposed to high tariffs. Russia supplied 30.3 per cent of India's crude imports in FY2026, worth USD 40.8 billion, helping reduce costs and contain inflation.
