US Senator Rubio says pause on Russian sanctions needed as global conflicts impact oil prices. He stated that global oil prices are affected by various conflicts, including the war with Iran, Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, and Russia's war on Ukraine, which are "starting to crash into each other." Rubio also noted that the president must consider the sanctions' impact on other countries, such as India, which still relies substantially on Russian energy despite diversification efforts. He added that Russia would sell its diesel regardless, and the only difference would be how much the United States would get.
