40 thousand tons of diesel fuel are flowing from Russia to New York

Russian diesel fuel may enter the U.S. market due to an agreement between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, lifting sanctions to lower diesel prices. The Kremlin announced the first tanker carrying about 40,000 tons of diesel has departed for the U.S. High fuel prices pose a challenge for Trump's administration ahead of the midterm elections on November 3, as the Republican Party seeks to maintain its congressional majority. Diesel prices have reached over $6 per gallon at U.S. gas stations, a record high.
