Sanctions on Russian oil are “real possibility” - U.S. Energy Chief

Reuters reported the information.

“It is huge pressure on Russia. That's the biggest pressure you can put on them,” Wright said.

According to him, U.S. sanctions on Russian oil are a very real possibility, and today the U.S. is "able to do things we couldn’t do before."

“The U.S. is the world's top producer of oil and gas, a position Wright said means the U.S. can take action that was previously unthinkable,” Reuters writes.

• On July 21, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham assured that U.S. President Donald Trump plans to impose tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil — China, Brazil, and India.
