WASHINGTON, - The U.S. Treasury on Wednesday did not publish an extension of its waiver of sanctions on Russian seaborne oil that ran out at midnight, but President Donald Trump and administration officials did not say whether that meant the measures would be re-imposed.
During the war on Iran, Trump's administration waived U.S. sanctions on the Russian oil to help vulnerable economies deal with the energy crisis. That could change after Washington and Tehran reached a memorandum of understanding to end the war that would allow oil from the Middle East to reach global markets.
