New Jersey Governor warns against diesel from Russia. And announces high penalties

New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill warned that Donald Trump's agreement with Vladimir Putin for Russian diesel imports violates a 2022 law banning energy imports from Russia. She emphasized that any illegal imports would face significant penalties, including fines equal to the value of the goods. Sherrill, a Democrat with a strong background in law and military service, stated that the Biden administration cannot lift the ban without confirmation of Russian troop withdrawal from Ukraine. U.S. refineries are skeptical about the impact of Russian diesel on prices, indicating insufficient supply to affect the market significantly.
