Tether Is Quiet About Its Bankers. Will It Affect Its Peg?

Senior [European Union] officials are expected to sign off on the oil embargo in the coming days, raising the intensity of the bloc’s economic retalia

Senior [European Union] officials are expected to sign off on the oil embargo in the coming days, raising the intensity of the bloc’s economic retaliation against Russia for the war in Ukraine. Leaders of EU member states said late Monday they had agreed in principle to ban Russian crude and refined fuels that arrive on ships, which accounts for at least two-thirds of imports from Russia.
