Last tanker with Russian diesel changes course: No more cargo to the US

The tanker Agioi Fanendes, initially bound for New York with 300,000 barrels of Russian diesel, has changed course to South America. This follows similar decisions by three other tankers that redirected to Brazil and Egypt. U.S. politicians had threatened measures to block such deliveries, warning of legal risks associated with purchasing Russian diesel. Energy Secretary Chris Wright expressed no concern over the diesel's rerouting, emphasizing the importance of its availability on the global market. The tankers' departure coincided with a deal between Trump and Putin aimed at lowering diesel prices, a key issue in the recent U.S. elections, despite criticism from both parties.
