The possibility of lifting US sanctions on Russia’s energy sector was strengthened
report Mehr News Agency Reuters quoted the US government as saying: Ending the Ukrainian war can quickly lift sanctions.
Reuters’ previous reports suggest that the US has plans to lift sanctions from some Russian institutions and individuals, but at the time it was unclear whether the plan would include the Russian oil and gas industry.
Russia is one of the largest oil and gas producers in the world, and the United States has targeted this sector with the aim of reducing Russian funding for the war.
The White House has called on the Treasury Department to review options to reduce energy sanctions, especially before the projected negotiations between President Trump and Putin’s president to end the Ukrainian war. These investigations allow the United States to abolish sanctions quickly if reached a peace agreement.
Trump has also suggested the possibility of wider sanctions on Russia and has called on the two countries to continue peace talks.
These sanctions are part of a series of US actions against Russia since Crimea’s attachment in year 2, including financial, energy and defense sanctions. Also, the Treasury Department has examined the impact of Russia’s full return to the global oil market and changing business patterns.
China and India have continued to buy Russian oil, but the payment problems and ship insurance issues have complicated oil delivery.
On the other hand Bloomberg News Agency The United States also quoted the sources as saying that: Trump’s advisers are investigating plans and scenarios to lift or adjust Russian sanctions in the event of peace in Ukraine.
The sources, which Bloomberg did not mention, stated that the Trump administration’s possible move could create another big gap between Washington and other European allies .
