The US Treasury Department's recent decision to permit the sale of Russian oil at sea is a strategic response to the current surge in energy prices linked to ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.
This temporary license specifically applies to oil that has already been loaded onto vessels, allowing for transactions over the next 30 days.
The move comes in the context of heightened energy market volatility following US-Israeli military actions in the region, which have contributed to rising prices.
