Treasury Secretary Scott Besant doubled down yesterday on the Trump administration's decision to extend a sanctions exemption on Russian oil.
as a way of trying to ease the energy crisis sparked by the war.
Russian oil had previously been blacklisted because of the war in Ukraine, but the Treasury Department said it wants to ensure, quote, Besson first paused the sanctions in March, saying it was temporary.
According to one analysis, that move caused Russian oil revenues to surge, nearly doubling last month and providing a financial lifeline for the Kremlin.
And last update on the war.
President Trump is staring down a looming deadline for U.S.
military operations in Iran.
By law, the president can wage war for 60 days without getting congressional approval.
But at that point, lawmakers need to authorize it to continue.
For Trump, that date is May 1st, next Friday.
While Republicans in Congress have largely backed his campaign so far, some have signaled they won't continue that support after that deadline.
If lawmakers don't authorize the war, Trump will either have to pull back immediately or give himself a one-time 30-day extension that would be used to safely withdraw U.S.
forces.
There's also a chance he could push past the deadline altogether, though, which would not be unprecedented.
In 2011, President Obama continued military operations in Libya past 60 days, which prompted bipartisan backlash.
A couple of years ago, Republican and Democratic lawmakers banded together to take on one of the most costly and frustrating parts of medical care, surprise billing.
Every year, millions of Americans who unexpectedly saw a doctor out of network, often in emergency rooms, would be hit with far higher bills than what their health plans normally covered.
So Congress passed the No Surprises Act, which barred out-of-network doctors from billing patients directly.
Instead, physicians can take their claim to a government-approved arbitrator to try and make a case for how much they think the patient's insurance company should pay them.
