BERLIN, March 13 (Reuters) - German Economy Minister

Katherina Reiche said on Friday that she saw both sides to the

United States' decision to issue a 30-day waiver for the

purchase of Russian oil products.

"It seems to me that domestic political pressure in the

United States is very, very high," said Reiche at a press

conference.

She said that on the one hand she is concerned about filling

Russian President Vladimir Putin's war coffers, but on the other

hand, the situation in South Korea and Japan is very tense.
