Two tankers transporting Russian oil to the USA changed course, FT reports

Two out of three oil tankers transporting Russian oil to the U.S. have changed course, as reported by the Financial Times. This shift follows a surprising agreement by President Trump to purchase Russian oil to lower fuel prices ahead of the elections. However, American buyers are hesitant to accept the oil due to legal risks. One tanker redirected to Brazil, while another entered the Mediterranean Sea, waiting for further instructions. A third tanker continues towards the U.S. Additionally, a fourth tanker from Russia is heading towards the Atlantic, potentially targeting the U.S. coast. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that all oil will find buyers, despite the redirected shipments.
