OREANDA-NEWS The United States does not intend to impose restrictions on oil and gas exports, US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright said on a social network.

He stressed that the country is the largest exporter of natural gas and a major exporter of oil in the world and does not intend to impose restrictions on the supply of these energy resources.

Earlier, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that Washington is considering lifting sanctions against Iranian oil, which is currently being transported on tankers. Earlier, similar allowances were made for Russian oil.

According to Bessent, such a step would allow oil to be supplied to markets outside of China, in particular, to European countries. In addition, he said that Washington may consider further releasing fuel from its reserves. The Finance Minister also stressed that the United States does not interfere in the oil markets and does not plan to do so.
