The
United States has dispatched a shipment of
Oil to Belarus, which is seeking to diversify its supplies after a price dispute with
Russia, the Belarusian government said Friday.
The 80,000-ton shipment is expected to arrive at the Lithuanian port of Klaipeda in June and from there will sent by rail to Belarus.
Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei said cooperation with the U.S. on oil is "an element of energy security.”
