US temporarily eases sanctions on Russian oil to allow sale to India

The U.S. government is temporarily easing economic sanctions against Russia to allow Russian oil currently stuck at sea to be sold to India.

The exemption is valid until April 3 and, according to U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, is intended to allow "oil to continue flowing" on the global market.

Bessent said it will not make a major economic difference to the Russian government, as it only applies to oil that is already at sea.
