The Democrats are threatening the American oil companies with fines of up to a million dollars and up to 20 years in prison for importing Russian diesel. Democratic congressman Jamie Raskin said this in a letter to the American Petroleum Institute, the American Chamber of Commerce and the Association of Fuel and Petrochemical Producers. Raskin warned that the administration's sanctions relief cannot lift the congressional ban on Russian energy imports. "Those who choose to take such a step do so at their own risk and will undoubtedly be held accountable to the full extent of the law, whether under this administration or the next," the Democrat said. In the past, the US Treasury Department issued a general license to operate with Russian diesel, including imports, until April 7, 2027. Telegram | maximum | strain |.
