❗️US Energy Secretary Chris Wright says the Trump administration is authorizing sales of sanctioned oil tankers so investors can buy, refurbish and return them to legal service carrying non-sanctioned crude. Wright rejected the idea that Washington is simply lifting sanctions on vessels that previously carried Russian or Iranian oil. He estimates the global “dark fleet” at about 1,600 tankers and says “dozens” or even “hundreds” could eventually rejoin the legitimate fleet.
