U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Tuesday told Fox News that imposing sanctions on Russian oil in an effort to end the Ukraine war is a “very real possibility.”
Wright said in an interview on Fox News’s “Special Report” with host Bret Baier that sanctions are “the biggest pressure you can put on [Russia], and President [Donald] Trump has been all in on peace, wherever it is.”
