EE.UU. concede a India exención de 30 días para petróleo ruso varado en medio de tensiones globales

Un mes después de anunciar un acuerdo comercial para poner fin a las compras de petróleo ruso de India, el presidente de EE.UU. Donald Trump ha aclarado que Estados Unidos concedió a India una exención temporal de 30 días para comprar petróleo ruso varado en el mar. La medida busca aliviar la presión sobre los mercados energéticos globales perturbados por tensiones en Oriente Medio, incluidas las riesgos en torno al Estrecho de Ormuz.

Esta exención sigue al anuncio del presidente Trump en febrero de un acuerdo comercial entre EE.UU. e India en virtud del cual India se comprometió a detener las importaciones de petróleo ruso a favor de un aumento en las compras de energía de EE.UU. y reducciones de aranceles. El nuevo permiso de 30 días aborda los desafíos inmediatos de los cargamentos de petróleo ruso varados en el mar, en medio de tensiones elevadas que perturban las rutas de Oriente Medio—como las vinculadas al conflicto con Irán—y problemas más amplios de suministro global. US officials, including economic advisor Scott Bessent, described the waiver as strictly short-term to stabilize oil prices, support energy security, and relieve short-term pressure on India without undermining long-term goals to reduce reliance on Russian crude. The decision helps avert spikes in global energy markets while international conflicts, including Russia's war in Ukraine, persist. Trump emphasized the US commitment to market stability, aligning with ongoing diplomatic efforts.
