US extends sanctions waiver on Russian oil sales at sea
The Trump administration on Friday issued a one-month sanctions waiver allowing the sale of Russian oil and petroleum products already loaded at sea, despite the treasury secretary indicating two days earlier that Washington would not renew the measure.
The move comes amid efforts to ease global energy prices, which have surged following the Iran war and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.
