據報道,川普政府正在考慮延長對俄羅斯石油的豁免期限,以遏制供應衝擊。

-- 根據多家媒體通報,美國計劃延長對俄羅斯石油的豁免,允許購買約1億桶石油,旨在緩解供應衝擊。 據報道,川普政府預計將延長這項豁免,允許購買受制裁的俄羅斯石油和成品油,最快可能在周五做出決定。 目前這項為期30天的豁免於3月中旬推出,允許交易已在海上運輸的俄羅斯石油,將於4月11日到期。 據報道,美國財政部長斯科特·貝森特週四與唐納德·特朗普總統討論了延期事宜,雙方一致認為此舉有助於控制不斷上漲的能源成本。 據報道,一些亞洲國家正在敦促美國延長這項豁免,理由是能源短缺和與伊朗衝突相關的成本上漲。 報告稱,印度和菲律賓等國正在尋求繼續獲得已在運輸途中的俄羅斯原油,各國政府正努力在市場趨緊的情況下確保供應。 據報道,一個駐華盛頓的印度代表團正在敦促美國官員延長對伊朗原油的豁免,並擴大對俄羅斯液化天然氣的現有豁免範圍。 據報道,一位印度官員表示,新德里希望美國延長豁免,但否認正在積極尋求豁免,並補充說,印度仍在繼續大量進口俄羅斯石油。 國際能源總署表示,這場危機引發了有史以來規模最大的供應中斷,加劇了人們對11月美國中期選舉前燃料成本的擔憂。 然而,潛在的豁免可能會削弱西方對俄羅斯的製裁,可能增加俄羅斯在烏克蘭戰爭中的收入,並加劇與反對放寬限制的歐洲盟友之間的緊張關係。 歐盟委員會主席烏爾蘇拉·馮德萊恩表示,目前的情況並不支持放鬆制裁,並強調了西方夥伴之間日益加劇的分歧。 3月20日,華盛頓對伊朗海上石油運輸實施了為期30天的豁免。 華盛頓的立法者也對這項政策提出了批評,共和黨人和民主黨人都警告說,在當前地緣政治緊張局勢加劇的情況下,這項豁免可能會使俄羅斯和伊朗都受益。 油價仍比衝突前水準高出30%以上,反映出美以軍事行動後,油價持續波動且供應選擇有限。已聯繫白宮、美國財政部和印度外交部,尋求置評。
