Many leftliberal Western news outlet reports that Trump gave one (1) year exemption from fossil sanctions, opposition media and politicians takes these report over.
Our govt media and politicians say the fossil exemption has no defined end date.
There is some wiggle room for interpretations, this Politico article reflects it:
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/07/trump-opens-the-door-for-an-exemption-for-hungary-on-russian-oil-sanctions-00642146
The core problem is that our govt talks about oil and gas. In the article - even in the title - we can read specifically about oil. And the sanctions Trump introduced recently are on the Russian companies Lukoil and Rosneft, or more specifically a number of their subsidiaries as can be read in the bill I posted here:  >>/54766/ Note: there is no Gazprom there.
All three companies produces oil and gas, but just two of them got sanctions in the latest package. Not sure about Gazprom, perhaps it was sanctioned prior by Biden and the embargo is still in place.
So only the oil or the gas is under embargo as well? And it's not really the product but the trade with the companies that are banned, no?
Do we got waiver for both? Do we got for both but for different timeframe? Is it just for oil because only oil is sanctioned?
So I think this is the confusion that gives a way for everyone to interpret it for us, the peasants, in different ways.
And this fugging fact sheet  >>/54825/ does not contain anything about it.
Curious snippet:
> The White House said in an email only that the exemption was “for one year,”
Where can we read this email?
