Biden levies new sanctions against Russian energy sector, but it’s up to Trump whether to keep them

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s administration announced Friday that it’s expanding sanctions against Russia’s critically important energy sector, unveiling a new effort to inflict pain on Moscow for its grinding war in Ukraine as President-elect Donald Trump gets set to return to office vowing to quickly end the conflict. The U.K. has already sanctioned almost 100 vessels in Russia’s oil-transporting “shadow fleet” as Ukraine’s Western allies seeking to increase economic pressure on Moscow ahead of any negotiations on ending the war. Biden administration officials said that it will ultimately be up to Trump’s administration whether to keep or scrap the new sanctions. Asked if the Biden administration consulted with the incoming Trump team, Kirby responded, “We have at every step and on every major issue been keeping the transition team informed of our decisions, what we’re doing and why we’re doing it.” Trump’s incoming national security adviser, Mike Waltz, wrote in an opinion piece for the Economist published shortly before Election Day that the U.S. should “use economic leverage” for “cracking down on Russia’s illicit oil sales” to bring Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table.
