The first shipment of Russian diesel bound for the US, as part of a deal brokered with Moscow by President Trump, is aboard a tanker bound for New York, according to ship-tracking data.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Trump said Russia would immediately export 300,000 metric tons, or 2.25 million barrels, followed by 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons “immediately thereafter”.
US retail diesel prices topped $6 a gallon ($1.59 per litre) in September and have remained elevated.
The Malta-flagged medium-sized tanker Agioi Fanendes was loaded with 40,000 metric tons of ultra-low-sulphur diesel at Russia’s Baltic port of Primorsk on October 22, Reuters reported, citing LSEG shipping data.
Trump also waived parts of a new US sanctions law against Moscow and threatened to ban diesel exports to Europe unless countries released more fuel from their emergency reserves to help ease prices.
