US Lifts Sanctions to Allow Russian Diesel Supply Following Trump-Putin Agreement
US President Donald Trump announced a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin for Russia to supply over 300,000 tons of diesel fuel immediately to the US and global markets, followed by additional shipments totaling nearly 5 million tons. The US Treasury subsequently lifted sanctions on Russian diesel sales until April 2027 to facilitate this. The move aims to lower fuel prices amid global supply disruptions but has drawn criticism from Ukraine, which views it as undermining sanctions against Russia during its ongoing war. Details on implementation and impact remain unclear.
