Summary
Australia said Saturday it will keep Russian fuel imports barred, with Energy Minister Chris Bowen saying the country neither needs nor wants Russian supply.
Bowen said the policy is meant to stop Russia and Vladimir Putin from benefiting from the invasion of Ukraine and from turmoil linked to the Middle East war.
The reaffirmation came after a Trump move on diesel in the United States, though Bowen said Washington’s decisions are its own and Australia will not change course.
