The U.S. Treasury Department has extended a sanctions carve-out allowing U.S. financial institutions to process transactions related to Russian energy sales for nearly six months, as the U.S. seeks to minimize further disruption in global energy markets, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
The exemption, which had been set to expire on June 24, will remain in place until December 5.
