Americans, how do you feel about Trump buying Russian diesel after threatening India with tariffs?
Not trying to pick a fight here 😅😅....I'm a commerce student from India looking at how American voters are reacting to Trump's diesel deal with Russia, and I'd really value your input.
Some context: last month the US passed the Russia sanctions law, which pushed tariffs of up to 100% on the biggest buyers of Russian oil, including India. The reasoning was that buying Russian energy funds the war in Ukraine.
Now the US is buying Russian diesel itself to bring fuel prices down before the midterms. Most of the criticism so far has focused on Ukraine, but there's been little discussion of the countries that were threatened for doing the same thing.
I'm trying to understand how this is landing with voters:
- Do you support or oppose the deal, and why?
- Does it change how you view sanctions or tariffs on countries like India?
- Will it affect how you vote in the midterms?
If you're comfortable, mentioning your state and political leaning would help a lot. All views welcome.
(ur responses would be screenshotted and will be added to a college project, hope thats okay...i would really love some unique and contrarian perspectives)
