Russia sends first diesel shipment to US under Trump deal

economictimes.indiatimes.com —

Russia will dispatch its first diesel tanker to the United States on Thursday, carrying 40,000 metric tons, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said Wednesday, following a deal with US President Donald Trump. The shipment comes after Russia lifted its self-imposed diesel export ban on October 9, which was introduced to address domestic shortages caused by Ukrainian drone attacks on refineries. Novak said paperwork for the fuel supply is nearing completion but did not name the departure port. The US exports approximately 1.5 million barrels of diesel per day, and this delivery marks a notable shift in energy trade between the two countries amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
