US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a temporary authorization for countries to purchase stranded Russian oil to address global supply issues amid instability from the Iran war. This measure extends a previous waiver for Indian refiners and aims to limit financial benefits to the Russian government. The decision comes as the Trump administration seeks to manage oil price volatility, with recent disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz affecting supply routes. Additionally, Bessent will meet with Chinese officials in Paris to discuss economic relations ahead of President Trump's visit to China. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
