US Russian Diesel Imports

Trump Says US Will Import Russian Diesel Fuel

President Trump said the US will import Russian diesel fuel, with Russia agreeing to ship 300,000 tonnes immediately and 1.5 million more later, amid soaring US fuel prices during the Iran war. The move follows his lifting of sanctions on Russian diesel and would end a US import ban in place since 2022 over Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Trump said the amounts would be small relative to global demand.
