Motivul pentru care Trump relaxează sancțiunile impuse flotei fantomă a Rusiei

The Trump administration is considering easing sanctions on a "phantom fleet" transporting oil from countries like Russia, Iran, and Venezuela to lower transport costs ahead of midterm elections. This move has drawn criticism from Ukrainian President Zelensky and some U.S. senators, who argue it benefits Russia financially in its war against Ukraine. While sanctions on Russian and Iranian oil remain, the U.S. may allow these ships to transport oil with special permits. Energy Secretary Christ Wright noted that rising shipping costs reduce U.S. oil demand, but experts doubt this will significantly lower transport costs, as many vessels will still face EU and UK sanctions.
