The United States dispatched the first shipment of U.S. crude oil to Belarus last week, according to the State Department. Belarus has been seeking to diversify its oil supplies after Russia stopped shipping oil there when both countries failed to renegotiate the oil price for 2020.
The competitive deal is led by U.S. energy trader United Energy Trading which partnered with U.S. logistics company Getka Energy and UNIMOT, a Polish importer of fuel, gas, and electricity.
