On Friday, the United States announced new sanctions targeting the Russian power sector and its “shadowed fleet” of tankers on tankers in what may be a final attempt through Biden’s administration to cripple the Russian economy in reaction to Moscow’s war in Ukraine.

But U.S. officials said healthier global oil supplies and the easing of inflation presented an opportunity to exert more pressure on Russia’s oil industry as the war approaches its fourth year.
Despite a coordinated effort through Western allies to economically punish Moscow for its actions, the Russian economy has avoided the cave in which many economists have predicted.
The movements of the Biden management will put the burden of Trump’s management to whether to enforce the sanctions.

On Friday, oil costs jumped before the announcement of sanctions amid the considerations that new restrictions, as well as bad weather in the United States and forest fires in California, can force global feeding.
