In talks on drafting a final statement on shipping issues, the US is demanding “strong” language against China, while being soft on Russia, according to sources.
According to the draft, Washington is asking to remove the word "sanctions" related to Moscow from the joint communique.
The US has reportedly rejected a Canadian proposal to set up a task force to monitor the “underground tanker fleet” that the West accuses Russia of using to evade sanctions on energy exports.
In the final weeks of the Biden administration, the US blacklisted more than 180 vessels accused of illegally transporting Russian oil. Moscow insists that all Western sanctions are illegal and denies operating a “shadow fleet.”
US President Donald Trump has abandoned his predecessor's strategy of "isolating" Russia on the world stage and reopened suspended direct talks with Russia in 2022.
He has repeatedly stressed that his priority is to end the conflict through diplomacy and that he will focus on achieving a ceasefire between Moscow and Kiev.
