5月16日（路透社）——美国特朗普政府周六不再延长一项制裁豁免。此前，在伊朗封锁霍尔木兹海峡导致石油供应短缺和价格高企后，该豁免曾允许包括印度在内的国家购买俄罗斯海运原油，当时曾有为期一个月的延期安排以缓解供应问题。

- 美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特此前曾表示，不会续签允许购买储存在油轮上的俄罗斯原油的通用许可证。
- 截至华盛顿时间周六下午早些时候，财政部网站上未发布任何延期通知。财政部发言人拒绝进一步置评。
- 两名美国国会民主党资深参议员珍妮·沙欣和伊丽莎白·沃伦于周五敦促特朗普政府不要续签该豁免，称其为俄罗斯提供了资金，用于援助其在乌克兰的战争，但没有证据表明该豁免降低了美国消费者的燃油成本。
- 此次延期是特朗普政府控制全球能源价格举措的一部分，伊朗冲突爆发后全球能源价格大幅上涨。这些举措包括从战略石油储备中借贷、暂时豁免被称为《琼斯法案》的航运规则。此外，唐纳德·特朗普总统曾表示支持暂停每加仑18.4美分的联邦汽油税。
- 这些举措几乎未能平息美国汽油价格上涨，当前油价约为每加仑4.50美元，为2022年以来的最高水平。自2月28日战争爆发以来，国内外油价均徘徊在每桶100美元左右或更高。
- 特朗普周五在从北京返回途中对记者表示，他已与中国国家主席习近平讨论了可能解除对购买伊朗原油的中国公司的制裁，并将很快做出决定。
- 印度是俄罗斯海运原油的最大进口国，在之前的制裁豁免政策下，其4月和5月的购买量接近纪录高位。

May 16 (Reuters) – The Trump administration on Saturday allowed a sanctions waiver to lapse that had previously allowed countries including India to buy Russian seaborne oil after a month-long extension aimed at easing oil supply shortages and high prices due to Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

- U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had previously said he would not renew the general license allowing the purchase of Russian oil stored on tankers.
- As of early afternoon Washington time on Saturday, no renewal notice had been posted on the Treasury website. A Treasury spokesperson declined further comment.
- Two top Democratic U.S. senators, Jeanne Shaheen and Elizabeth Warren, on Friday urged the Trump administration against renewing the waiver, arguing that it was providing revenue to Russia to aid its war in Ukraine, but there was no evidence it was bringing down fuel costs for American consumers.
- The prior extension was part of the Trump administration’s effort to control global energy prices that have shot higher during the Iran war, including loans from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and a temporary waiver of a shipping rule known as the Jones Act. In addition, President Donald Trump has said he supported pausing the 18.4-cent-a-gallon federal tax on gasoline.
- The moves have done little to calm U.S. gasoline prices, which are currently at about $4.50 a gallon, the highest since 2022. Both domestic and international oil prices have hovered around or above $100 per barrel since the war began on February 28.
- Trump told reporters on Friday returning from Beijing that he had discussed with Chinese President Xi Jinping possibly lifting sanctions on Chinese companies that buy Iranian oil and will make a decision soon.
- India is the top consumer of Russian seaborne crude, and its purchases have been near record highs in April and May following previous sanctions waivers.
