Tanker with 40,000 Tons of Russian Diesel Heads to New York After Putin-Trump Agreement
A Malta-flagged tanker carrying 40,000 metric tons of Russian diesel is en route to New York following an agreement between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Russia lifted its self-imposed ban on diesel exports to supply global markets, including the US, aiming to reduce fuel prices ahead of the November 3 US mid-term elections. The tanker was loaded in the Russian Baltic port of Primorsk on October 22 and is expected to arrive in early November.
