As G7 leaders prepare to meet, most member states are ready to cut the Russian oil price cap to $45 even without U.S. backing.
Several G7 nations, including the EU, UK, and Canada, are prepared to unilaterally lower the $60-a-barrel price cap on Russian oil, regardless of whether U.S. President Donald Trump supports the move. Sources say these countries aim to reduce the cap to $45, arguing that the current level is outdated due to falling global oil prices and ineffective in curbing Moscow’s war funding.
The decision is expected to be a key point of debate at the upcoming June 15–17 G7 summit in Canada. While the U.S. remains undecided, some American lawmakers like Senator Lindsey Graham support a tougher stance. With Britain’s grip on global shipping insurance and EU influence over compliant tanker fleets, European leaders believe they can act without full U.S. alignment. However, Washington's role remains critical in managing dollar-based oil transactions. Russia’s shrinking oil revenues and profit decline at state-run Rosneft signal that the pressure from existing sanctions is mounting.
