The Trump administration reiterated on Monday that the waiver granted to India- from sanctions pertaining to the purchase of crude oil from Iran - will cease on May 2, 2019, as envisaged. No extension is being considered going forward, and any country that continues to buy oil from Iran will invite trade sanctions from the US. The move is expected to raise the price of crude oil in the international market, affecting large consumers like India in the long run.
