UK in talks with Turkey over oil tanker delays -Telegraph newspaper

British officials are in talks with Turkish counterparts to resolve oil tanker queues off Turkey, The Telegraph newspaper reported, after the G7 and European Union rolled out new restrictions aimed at Russian oil exports on Dec. 5.

The report quoted a Treasury spokesperson saying Britain, the United States and EU were working with Turkey and the shipping services industry to resolve the issue, adding there was no reason for ships to be denied access to the Bosphorus Straits.

Reuters was not immediately able to verify the report. (Reporting By Noah Browning; editing by David Evans)
