First Russian diesel tanker sets sail for US under Trump-Putin deal
Summary
A tanker carrying Russian diesel set sail on Friday for the United States, the first such shipment since President Donald Trump struck a deal with Vladimir Putin to release more fuel into the global market. PBS NewsHour reports that the Kremlin said the tanker sailed two weeks after Trump said he had struck the deal, despite Ukraine's protests. Euronews reports the cargo carries about 40,000 tonnes of diesel under an arrangement that temporarily eased US sanctions on Russian diesel as Trump seeks to lower fuel prices. NDTV reports the tanker loaded nearly 300,000 barrels at the Russian oil terminal of Primorsk. The Straits Times reports, citing ship-tracking data, that the diesel is aboard a tanker heading for New York.
