Washington has quietly but firmly shut the door on a policy that had been generating controversy for weeks. The United States has decided not to renew a temporary waiver that had allowed Iranian oil to continue flowing to global markets, and has also let a separate waiver on Russian oil at sea expire without renewal. Two administration officials confirmed the decisions, which mark a sharp pivot toward full enforcement of sanctions that had previously been softened under the banner of energy price relief. The Iranian waiver is set to officially expire on April 19, while the Russian waiver already lapsed over the weekend.
This week, JD Vance will make an important visit to Hungary as part of a diplomatic effort to bolster support for Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

A nuclear cooperation agreement has been established between the United States and Hungary. This marks an important step in improving the relationship between the two nations in a way that will further solidify the strategic bond.

This is also an important time for Hungary as they look to diversify its nuclear energy supply away from solely relying on Russian-based technology.

Mr. Trump used a variant of his long-favoured tariff strategy- threatening to impose secondary tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil unless Moscow signs onto the same peace deal in Ukraine. The risk of both political and economic blowback at home and abroad is high, given the move comes just days before a Friday deadline.
