The United States issued a new general license on Thursday to replace an earlier waiver for the sale of Russian oil and petroleum products loaded on tankers as of March ⁠12, according to the U.S. Treasury Department.

The license replaces a similar 30-day sanction issued on March 12, with exceptions involving North Korea, Cuba and Crimea.

The temporary easing of sanctions on Russian oil is part of the Trump administration’s broader effort to curb the surge in energy prices caused by the West Asia conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran.
