Washington had previously discussed the idea of introducing duties for oil buyers from Russia along with G7 countries, but did not receive support.
In the case of the failure of American-Russian negotiations, European countries should be prepared to support US penalties and duties against Russia or Russian oil buyers. This was on Wednesday, August 13, US finance minister Scott Immotrot said in an interview on Bloomberg TV.
“Europeans should join us in our penalties. They should,” he said on Wednesday.
According to the publication, we are talking about roles in China, India and other countries that the Russian Federation buys energy.
Immentine noted that sanctions against the Russian Federation could be strengthened or weakened depending on the results of the US meeting and the Russian Federation in Alaska, which will be held on Friday. At the same time, the head of the US Treasury noted that he was talking about the idea of duties against oil buyers from the Russian Federation along with the G7 countries earlier, but did not receive support.
“I looked at all the leaders on the table and asked if everyone was ready to introduce 200% second role against China on this table. And you know what? Everyone lowered their eyes, they wanted to know what shoes they put in,” he said of the G7 meeting, which took place earlier this year in Canada.
Remember that last year the EU spent 39% more oil and gas from the Russian Federation than helping Ukraine.
