And the sanctions specifically on those tankers were lifted so India could buy it.

And this has been happening with Russian oil, too.

And the reason this is happening is that if you're not getting these kind of injections of oil...

the situation there would be even more bleak than it already is.

And this is crisis is just going to continue as long as the Trump keeps this war going.
