  6. Bessent Grants 30-Day Oil Waiver as US Targets Iran

    United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent granted a 30-day extension allowing countries to import Russian oil currently held in tankers at sea. The measure aims to ease oil supply shortages driven by the war with Iran, reversing previous administration statements that sanctions relief would expire. Meanwhile, Bessent launched global economic isolation efforts against Iran by targeting international banking operations and restricting airline flights in Turkey, Oman, and the UAE. In Washington, President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping held talks focusing on trade, artificial intelligence, and strategic rivalry.

    Why it matters

    The Treasury actions reflect an administration balancing supply pressures from the conflict with Iran against ongoing enforcement of economic sanctions. The temporary waiver for Russian oil tankers follows earlier renewals issued in March and April. Simultaneously, broader Treasury strategies target Iranian financial networks and aviation access.

    What is confirmed

    • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a 30-day extension for countries to import Russian oil already in tankers at sea.

  13. Bessent Meets Russian Finance Minister Amid European G20 Protest

    US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met with Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov during a G20 meeting in Asheville. While Donald Trump defended the invitation of the sanctioned Russian minister, European allies shunned Siluanov and protested his attendance. Bessent informed Russia that economic pressure will remain and no relief will be granted until the war in Ukraine ends. Siluanov countered that bilateral economic ties could help resolve political issues. The meeting occurred as the US barred journalists from the event and Siluanov was excluded from the finance ministers' family photo.

    Why it matters

    The G20 serves as a primary forum for global economic coordination between the world's largest economies.
