The US has authorised operations involving the sale, delivery, or offloading of crude oil and petroleum products of Russian origin loaded onto tankers, according to a general license published on the website of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Treasury Department.
Through a fresh licence issued late Friday, the US Treasury Department is allowing countries to purchase Russian oil loaded onto vessels as of April 17 through May 16.
The move renews and replaces an earlier 30-day waiver that expired on April 11.
