Exxon fined over Tillerson-era breach of Russia sanctions

The Treasury Department has fined Exxon Mobil $2m for violating Russia sanctions while Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was the oil company's CEO.

The Treasury said in a statement that Exxon under Mr Tillerson's leadership had shown "reckless disregard" for sanctions that the Obama administration imposed on Russian entities in 2014 over Russia's annexation of Crimea.
