The US may lift sanctions on Russian oil
He recalled that the day before, the US granted India a 30-day permit to purchase Russian oil stored on tankers at sea.
"The Indians have proven themselves to be very reliable partners. We asked them to stop buying sanctioned Russian oil this autumn. They did so. They were going to replace it with American oil. But to alleviate the temporary global oil shortage, we gave them permission (for 30 days, ed.) to accept Russian oil. We can lift sanctions on other Russian oil. There are hundreds of millions of barrels of oil at sea that are subject to sanctions, and by lifting the sanctions, the Treasury Department can create a proposal, and we are considering this option," Bessent said .
