Washington updates oil policy

149

“The United States has extended the license allowing the purchase of Russian oil already loaded on tankers by 30 days.”

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced this on the social media platform “X.”

It was noted that the previous authorization had expired on May 16.

According to Bessent, the decision is intended to support stability in the crude oil market and ensure the continuity of supplies to countries that are highly dependent on energy imports.
