Washington: The US Treasury this week extended a 30-day sanctions waiver permitting the sale of Russian oil after representatives from more than ten energy‑vulnerable countries requested the measure during IMF and World Bank Spring Meetings; Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent testified to the Senate on April 22–23 that the waiver aimed to maintain supply and avoid sharp price spikes. Washington: Secretary Bessent defended the waiver at Senate hearings this week, saying it placed roughly 250 million barrels 'on the water' and helped prevent prices rising toward $150 per barrel; Democratic senators, including Chris Coons, argued the exemption risks sending revenue to Russia or Iran, while the Treasury reiterated it rejected estimates of $14 billion in Iranian gains.
