Trump Considers Reimposing Russian Oil Sanctions at G7

President Trump signaled at the Évian summit on June 16–17 that he may reinstate sanctions on Russian oil shipments, reversing Washington's prior resistance to tightening secondary-sanctions architecture. Whether this becomes an executive order or a negotiating tactic toward Moscow remains unclear. The move would complicate enforcement, as third-country intermediaries already route barrels outside the G7 price-cap coalition, and Washington would face strained relations with buyers in South and Southeast Asia.
