SUA ia în considerare relaxarea sancțiunilor impuse „Flotei fantomă” a Rusiei

The Trump administration is considering easing restrictions on oil companies related to Russia, Iran, and Venezuela to lower maritime transport costs. This move could allow sanctioned vessels to transport oil and petroleum products not banned under U.S. sanctions, potentially increasing shipments from the Persian Gulf. Discussions follow Trump's temporary suspension of sanctions on Russian diesel, which has drawn criticism from Ukrainian and European officials concerned about funding Russia's war efforts. High oil prices pose a political risk for Trump ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, which could impact congressional control.
