It has become known why the US does not want to introduce new sanctions against Russian oil tankers.
According to Washington, such restrictive measures could lead to a significant increase in global oil prices.
This point of view is expressed in a publication in the New York Times .
Let us recall that in the West, the idea has been repeatedly expressed that Russia is using its oil tankers to bypass existing restrictions.
However, the US does not intend to introduce new sanctions yet, as it believes that these measures will have a strong impact on the price of black gold in the world.
According to the NYT, the initiative to introduce new restrictions comes from the US Treasury, which has allegedly provided convincing evidence that this step will not affect the cost of raw materials.
However, Washington is wary of introducing new restrictions, as it does not rule out that the sanctions will cause gasoline prices in the US to jump, which in turn will cast a shadow on the election campaign.
Earlier it was reported that the European Union had expanded sanctions against Russia.
