Russia says it will not export oil to the world market if the price is capped below the cost of production. The United States hopes to see a global price cap on Russian oil introduced by December, US Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo has said.

Russia has said it will not export oil to the world market if the price is capped below the cost of production.
