<h1>US Expands Sanctions on Russia's Oil and LNG Sectors Amid Ukraine Conflict; Coordination with UK Announced.</h1> The Biden administration has imposed expanded sanctions on Russia's energy sector, targeting oil and liquefied natural gas industries to pressure Moscow over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. These sanctions, coordinated with the UK, aim to significantly impact Russia's economy by targeting major oil producers and a shadow fleet of vessels used to evade previous sanctions. The measures come as President-elect Trump prepares to take office, with his administration's stance on these sanctions yet to be determined. Trump has expressed a desire to end the conflict swiftly and has shown a willingness to engage with Russian President Putin.
