@staunovo retweet (Wed Oct 21 11:11:04 +0000 2026): Original @anasalhajji (Wed Oct 21 10:48:45 +0000 2026): *⃣*⃣*⃣ A must read! From the Daily Energy Report: Link: https://t.co/5QB5RQHkGX S&P Global: Trump Waives Oil Sanctions to Preserve Ukraine Peace Talks Summary Trump has indefinitely waived legally mandated sanctions and tariffs on major buyers of Russian oil and gas, arguing that new restrictions could undermine Ukraine peace talks and worsen global diesel market disruptions. A White House order keeps the option of imposing tariffs of up to 100% on goods from countries making new Russian energy purchases after Oct. 18. The decision has drawn bipartisan criticism, with lawmakers arguing it benefits Putin and undermines US pressure on Moscow. Democrats have introduced legislation to block Trump. EOA’s Main Takeaway Have we heard this story before? Yes! It was the Biden administration justifying turning a blind eye to sanctions on Iran, allowing Iran to increase its oil production and exports. The irony lies in the similarities: 🟥Biden wanted to keep the Iranians at the negotiating table; Trump wants to keep the Russians at the negotiating table. 🟥Biden wanted Iranian oil to compensate for the loss of Russian oil due to sanctions; Trump wants Russian oil to compensate for the loss of oil from Hormuz. 🟥Biden wanted Iranian oil to keep flowing before the elections; Trump wants Russian oil to keep flowing before the elections. ✴️It is the same book, different countries.
