EghtesadOnline: The US administration said on Monday that it will not renew waivers that let countries buy Iranian oil without facing sanctions, a move that roiled energy markets and risks upsetting major importers such as China and India.
EghtesadOnline: The United States in certain cases will consider waivers for countries that need more time to wind down imports of oil from Iran to avoid disrupting global oil markets while reimposing sanctions against Tehran, US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said.
EghtesadOnline: US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin rejected a request from European leaders for broad-based waivers from sanctions the US will reimpose on countries that do business with Iran after US President Donald Trump backed out of the 2015 nuclear accord.
