Treasury Department on Wednesday let lapse a 60-day exemption put in place by the Biden administration in January that allowed specific energy transactions involving sanctioned Russian banks to continue.

By letting the waiver lapse, the banks may no longer access U.S. payment systems to conduct major energy transactions.

The decision makes it harder for other countries to buy Russian oil, limiting its global supply.
