Politico: U.S. sanctions on Russian oil resume

The suspended U.S. sanctions on Russian oil have resumed, reported the newspaper Politico on April 13.

The publication noted that the sanctions came into effect after the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump did not extend the exemption period for Russia.

Earlier, the U.S. Treasury Department had lifted sanctions on the sale of oil and petroleum products from Russia that were loaded onto ships before March 12. A general license published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of this department allowed such transactions until April 11.
