UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States is prepared to give "comfort letters" to shipping and insurance companies to help facilitate exports of Russian grain and fertilizer, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said on Tuesday.

She noted that Russian grain and fertilizer were not under U.S. sanctions but that "companies are a little nervous and we're prepared to give them comfort letters if that will help to encourage them."

America burning itself because weak leadership and vintage policies
Now they come and beg for wheat and fertilizer, they are so pathetic. Lets see instead what Russia will do against the last rounds of sanctions, maybe ban gas to Europe?
Yes, I much prefer a comfort letter over any meaningful policy.... Thanks
US policy: "Russian grain and fertilizer were not under U.S. sanctions"
