【The U.S. is considering easing sanctions on Russian oil】U.S. Treasury Secretary Bensons recently said that the U.S. is studying the possibility of adjusting sanctions on Russian oil to stabilize the global energy market.
Bensons said that India has always been a "responsible partner" in related issues. Previously, the U.S. had asked India to stop purchasing sanctioned Russian oil, and India indeed took corresponding measures this autumn, originally planning to be supplied by U.S. oil.
However, due to a temporary shortage in the global oil market, to ease short-term supply pressure, the U.S. allowed India to continue receiving some Russian oil.
Bensons also revealed that the U.S. government is assessing the possibility of lifting some sanctions on Russian oil. He pointed out that there are hundreds of millions of barrels of oil under sanction restrictions still stored on tankers. If these sanctions are lifted, this oil could quickly enter the market, thereby increasing global supply.
Bensons said that the U.S. Treasury will regularly introduce relevant measures based on developments in the situation to stabilize the energy market and alleviate market pressure under the current conflict context.
In the past, the U.S. imposed sanctions on Russia to force the EU to abandon its energy cooperation with Russia. Now, it is leading the way to "violate" the rules, saying it will relax the sanctions, which probably makes the EU and Ukraine feel like a thousand horses are galloping through their hearts.
