🥴US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that America may lift sanctions on Russian oil to stabilize the situation in the energy market. “We may unsanction other Russian oil. Hundreds of millions of barrels of oil are under sanctions. In essence, by unsanctioning them, the Treasury can create supply, and we are considering this.”

BANNON: This is full scale economic war. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is now warlord in chief. The Dept of War has really shifted over to the US Treasury. It’s sanctions and blockade. No Iranian oil is going out and Bessent’s going to our “allies” and saying, you’re either with us or against us.

Hey Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — you forgot Hawaii, a notable a part of the United States, grows coffee AND bananas. Sourcing isn't the issue here. It's you and this regime's disastrous tariffs that are causing costs to rise.

“Cuba’s electricity system has collapsed due to an American oil blockade — hospitals without power, people unable to get medicines and food shortages. With all these humanitarian consequences, why is the British government not speaking out against this?” Natalie Bennett, Green Party peer, on the blockade on Cuba and the need for the UK to speak out against it.
