The Office of Foreign Assets Control on Friday reauthorized Russian oil exports through May 16 to ease economic pressure from rising fuel prices due to military operations in Iran.
The sanctions were one of several actions the U.S. and its allies took in 2022 to penalize Russia for the invasion of Ukraine. OFAC first issued a temporary waiver for Russian oil in March, which expired on April 11. The new waiver extends those exemptions by roughly another month.
