The U.S. Treasury gave Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska more time to relinquish control of the world’s second-largest aluminum producer, United Co. Rusal, before U.S. sanctions kick in.
Treasury said in a statement that licenses allowing Rusal to continue doing business would be extended a month to Dec. 12. U.S. government officials are in talks with negotiators about lifting sanctions on En+ Group Plc, the company that holds Deripaska’s stake in Rusal.
