Hajga Loma DK + 47 HL April 23, 2018 The US Treasury Department eased sanctions on Russian aluminum producer Rusal and said it would consider lifting them altogether if the company severs ties with Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch with close ties to President Vladimir Putin.Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the department would consider a petition from Rusal to lift the sanctions, given the economic troubles the actions caused for U.S. allies. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nigerian Price + 22 SK April 23, 2018 Deripaska is alleged to have conducted a range of illegal activities, including money laundering, extortion and ordering the murder of a businessman, according to Treasury. He is also reportedly part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. This is info from Treasury from before. So why the change?

Not going to happen. The real story here is that the Treasury Department extended the time frame during which companies could wind down their dealings with the faltering aluminum producer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TraderTate + 186 TS April 24, 2018 but this makes it impossible for traders! Alcoa, which we were tracking in a different thread, lost 14% yesterday and is still losing today. That's a massive one-day loss not seen in almost a decade. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jouhou + 24 June 4, 2018 Trump wants to help US aluminum, which these sanctions would have helped alone. But naw, let's slap tariffs on our allies instead of looking like we have a spine when it comes to Russia. Brilliant! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
