In his Washington Post column, writer Josh Rogen noted that the United States, which is working to contain high fuel prices, could harm the European Union and help Russia after the union introduced a near-complete ban on the purchase of fuel, Russian oil. , he said, explaining that “imposing a ban on oil exports from the United States would be a betrayal of the European allies.”

According to the writer, “The administration of US President Joe Biden is concerned about the sharp rise in gasoline prices, and as one of the possible measures to reduce fuel prices in the US, the administration is considering banning or limiting oil production. exports”, believing that “such a step will lead to a reduction in oil supplies.” On world markets, it will put the European Union in a very difficult position, which previously introduced an almost complete ban on the purchase of Russian oil.”

Rogen indicated that such a move would be in Russia’s interest and said, “If the United States cut off supplies, the price of crude oil would rise and that would be a financial boon for Russia.”
