US considering easing sanctions on shadow fleet – Reuters

A US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters , as reported by Ukrinform. The discussions began several days after President Donald Trump temporarily suspended sanctions on Russian diesel fuel. The current talks concern the possibility of allowing “legal oil” to be transported on vessels that were previously sanctioned, the US official said. This refers to oil and petroleum products not subject to US sanctions, rather than Russian or Iranian oil, which remains under US sanctions. According to the official, the goal is to increase the volumes of oil and petroleum products shipped out of the Gulf.
