Most of the seven (G7) group (G7) are ready to reduce the Russian oil sales prices, even if US President Donald Trump decides not to approve the move, four sources said with the knowledge of Reuters.

The leaders of the G7 countries are set to meet on June 15-17 in Canada, where they will discuss the highest limit for the sale prices of the Russian oil which they first imposed at the end of 2022.

This measure was designed to allow the sale of Russian URL-E to third countries using Western companies insurance services, but provided that the sale price does not exceed $ 60 per barrel in an effort to limit Russia’s revenue from the energy sector and therefore its financial resources to its financial resources. Ukraine.

The European Union and Britain have been pushing to reduce the ceiling of prices for weeks, as the fall in world oil prices has made the current 60 dollar ceiling without substance.

Sources, who have refused to be named, told Reuters that the EU and Britain are ready to lead this movement and move on on their own, with the support of other European G7 and Canada countries.

They added that it is not clear so far what the US will take, although Europeans are pushing for a single decision. Japan’s position also remains uncertain, the same sources said.

“There is pressure from European countries to reduce the price ceiling for oil to $ 45 out of $ 60. There are positive messages from Canada, Britain and possibly Japan. We will use the G7 to try to persuade the US to participate, “one of the sources said.

The White House has made no comment at the moment. During the meeting of G7 finance ministers in the Canadian rocky mountains last month, US Finance Minister Scott Besed continued to be convinced that it is necessary to reduce the maximum prices, according to sources.

However, some US senators may support the effort, such as Lindsay Graham, who in recent weeks has told reporters that he is supporting a reduction in the cost of honor for Russian oil. Graham is promoting a rigorous new package of sanctions against Russia that could impose high duties on buyers of Russian oil.

The EU in the 18th package of sanctions against Russia is proposing to reduce the sales price for Russian oil at $ 45 a barrel. However, the package must be unanimously approved by the block Member States in order for sanctions to come into force, which could take several weeks.

Sources who spoke to Reuters reported that Washington’s approval was not necessary to reduce the highest prices due to the dominant role that Britain plays in world shipping and EU influence on the tanker fleet.

The US, however, plays an essential role in dollars for oil payments and their banking system.

The EU and its western allies have gradually taken increasingly rigorous measures to suppress Russia’s shadow fleet and others who help her bypass the Skopelos of her oil sales prices.
