特朗普要制裁俄罗斯的两家大型石油公司——卢克石油和俄罗斯石油。 这是特朗普连任后第一次直接对俄罗斯采取这种行动。 因为美国的新制裁，印度的炼油企业正计划大幅减少从俄罗斯进口石油。 这可能有助于美国和印度达成贸易协议，因为之前印度买俄罗斯石油一直是个障碍。 还有消息说，俄罗斯对印度的石油供应可能会降到几乎为零。 印度一家叫信实工业的大公司，是俄罗斯原油的最大买家，它准备减少或者完全停止进口俄罗斯石油，包括取消和俄罗斯石油公司签的长期大单。 信实工业在印度有全球最大的炼油厂，原来每天从俄罗斯石油公司买近50万桶原油，还通过中间商买更多俄罗斯石油。 现在，他们已经开始从中东和巴西买现货原油来替代俄罗斯供应。 特朗普多次施压印度别买俄罗斯石油，还加了惩罚性关税，现在税率高达50%。 美国和印度正在谈贸易协议，可能降低印度关税，条件是印度慢慢减少从俄罗斯进口石油。 特朗普之前说，印度方面答应停止买俄罗斯石油，但印度没确认这个说法。 在特朗普制裁前，信实工业就已经在考虑停止一家出口型炼油厂进口俄罗斯石油，因为欧盟明年1月就要禁止使用俄罗斯原油生产的产品了。 印度的国有炼油企业，比如印度石油公司、巴拉特石油公司等，也在检查 ...
