The tankers that set off with Russian fuel after the Trump-Putin deal are no longer heading to America.

Russian tankers transporting diesel to the U.S. have changed their destinations, with the Leruo heading to Brazil and the Talisman towards the Mediterranean. The Talisman is currently waiting for instructions near Algeria, indicating it lacks a confirmed buyer. Another tanker, the Agioi Fanendes, is still heading to the U.S. but has not confirmed orders. Following an agreement between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on October 9 for Russian fuel shipments, U.S. fuel prices have risen instead of falling as expected. The U.S. Treasury issued a temporary license allowing Russian diesel sales until April 2027, easing previous sanctions.
