Host: Did you just say Europeans are stupid? U.S. Treasury Secretary: I just pointed out that they have been funding a war against themselves
According to Politico, on January 22 local time, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bensont made a speech at the World Economic Forum, stating that Europe has been purchasing oil products related to Russia from Indian refiners, and said that Europeans have been "funding a war against themselves".
According to reports, since the EU imposed restrictions on direct purchases of energy fuels from Russia, India's oil imports have surged. Traders have taken advantage of so-called "refining loopholes" in the sanctions mechanism, reselling petroleum products refined in India using Russian crude oil to Europe. Just a few weeks ago, the EU tried to close this loophole by banning the import of fuels made from Russian oil.
