Coin界 News - On March 20, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced the issuance of a new general license related to Russia, which stipulates that delivery and sales of Russian-origin crude oil and petroleum products that have been loaded onto vessels before March 12 will be permitted. The authorization remains valid until 00:01 Eastern Time on April 11, 2026. Although the main terms are consistent with the license issued previously (March 12), the exemption released on Thursday explicitly excludes transactions involving North Korea, Cuba, and Crimea. The temporary relaxation of sanctions on Russian oil is part of the Trump administration's efforts to moderate energy prices that have been pushed up by Middle East conflicts.
