[h=1]Yellen says price cap on Russian oil is ‘one of our most powerful tools’ to address inflation[/h]
Janet Yellen encourages Russian oil consumers to essentially unionize against Russia and put a price cap on Russian oil. The idea is this price cap would keep Russia's oil production profitable but not enough to fund Russia's war with Ukraine. This is an idea that has been criticized by European and Asian countries previously but Yellen presses that without a price cap the war would continue, and pump prices would continue to rise.
