A Casa Branca promete continuar a apreender navios petrolíferos sancionados, minimizando o risco de aumentar as tensões entre os EUA e a Rússia

Odaily Planetary Daily News - A White House press secretary Levitt stated on Wednesday that despite concerns that seizing sanctioned tankers could escalate tensions with Russia, Trump is “not afraid” to continue seizing these tankers. She told reporters at a press conference: “Trump will implement policies that are most beneficial to the United States. This means imposing an embargo on all illegal oil transport ‘shadow fleets.’” Levitt made these remarks just hours after the U.S. military took control of two tankers, including one flying a Russian flag that the U.S. military had been tracking for more than two weeks. She downplayed the risk that this move could trigger U.S.-Russia tensions and argued that Trump maintains good relations with Putin.
