How Oil is Adding Fuel to Global Fragmentation

In February 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine and since then economic sanctions imposed by the West have been trying to neutralize and put pressure on Moscow. There are also sanctions on oil exports but shipments have remained steady as new buyers have stepped in. In May, Russia's export revenues dropped by 6%, to lowest levels since January, due to voluntary production cuts of crude oil, according to recent research. To help us foreign journalists better understand those numbers, the global trading order, and international politics, the Association of Foreign Press Correspondents interviewed Robert York, the Director for Regional Affairs at the Pacific Forum, responsible for editing Pacific Forum publications. Prior to joining the Pacific Forum, York worked as a production editor at The South China Morning Post in Hong Kong. A PhD in Korean history at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, York is a regular commentator on inter-Korean and Indo-Pacific affairs, as a regular contributor to NK News, The South China Morning Post, The American Conservative, The Journal of American-East Asian Relations, and China Review International, as well as conducting numerous interviews in various media outlets. His research agenda at the Pacific Forum includes trade and its relationship with security, media analysis, countering disinformation, and human rights.

This interview was conducted by Patrícia Vasconcellos, the White House correspondent for the Brazilian network SBT.
