According to Reuters, the East Country refused the US request to stop importing Russian crude oil. The media reported that during the Sino-US negotiations, US Treasury Secretary Bessen threatened that if the East Country continued to import Russian oil, it would face tariff sanctions. The East Country responded firmly, stating that as a sovereign country, it will decide on oil procurement based on its own needs and domestic policies. Currently, the East Country remains the largest buyer of Russian oil, importing approximately 2 million barrels per day, followed by India and Turkey in second and third places.
