Russian tankers have changed course. They are no longer heading towards the USA with diesel for Trump.

Two tankers expected to deliver Russian diesel to the U.S. have changed course, raising concerns about the legality of such shipments. The Talisman is now heading towards Algeria, while the Leruo is en route to Brazil. This shift may indicate issues with an agreement between Donald Trump and Russia regarding fuel imports, which has faced criticism from various political figures. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill warned against accepting Russian fuel, citing potential legal repercussions. The deal, announced by Trump, aimed to alleviate fuel shortages but has drawn backlash for potentially benefiting Russia amid its conflict with Ukraine. Critics argue it undermines pressure on Putin and legitimizes Moscow's actions during the war.
