US President Donald Trump’s administration is considering easing sanctions on ‘shadow fleet’ vessels that transport oil and petroleum products from Russia, Iran and Venezuela.
A US government spokesperson told Reuters that the aim of this move is to reduce record-high global freight rates. It is noted that discussions on this issue began almost immediately after Trump lifted sanctions on Russian diesel fuel.
According to the US official, the new discussions are centred on the possibility of allowing the transport of “legal oil” on vessels that were previously subject to sanctions. This refers to crude oil or petroleum products that are not subject to Washington’s sanctions (unlike Russian or Iranian oil, which is subject to restrictive measures).
