U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on April 15 that the United States will not extend a temporary waiver that had allowed countries to purchase Russian oil at sea.
“We will not extend the waiver for Russian oil,” Bessent said at a Washington press conference, adding that there are no plans to extend the temporary exemption policy permitting purchases of Russian oil at sea.
The announcement followed a day after the U.S. Treasury said it would not extend a similar policy for Iranian oil.
On March 12, Bessent said in a post on X that the Treasury had “temporarily allowed countries to buy Russian oil stranded at sea” for 30 days. He described the measure as “short-term, narrow in scope,” applying only to oil already in transit and “does not provide a large financial benefit to the Russian government.”
A week later, the U.S. lifted sanctions on Iranian barrels loaded onto ships before March 20, with effect until April 19.
Both policies were aimed at easing supply shocks linked to the conflict in the Middle East.
On April 7, the Kremlin said many partners had expressed interest in buying Russian oil.
Based on official statistics and industry sources, Reuters estimated that Russia’s April oil and gas revenue would double from March, rising from 327 billion rubles to 700 billion rubles (about $9 billion).
Russian oil has been sanctioned by Western countries since 2022 following the Ukraine conflict. The U.S., the European Union (EU), and G7 members banned imports of Russian crude oil and many oil products, and imposed price caps to limit revenue from energy exports.
Under the price cap regime, Western insurers and shippers may provide services for Russian oil only if the sale price is below $48 per barrel. Oil tankers suspected of helping Moscow evade sanctions were also blacklisted.
