Russia says agreement with Trump on diesel will be maintained, despite the outcome of the midterm elections
Russia confirmed that its oil will still find buyers despite the recent US midterm elections results. Dmitri Peskov stated that the agreement with the US for diesel supply remains intact. He addressed concerns about Russian tankers changing course after the Republican Party's defeat, noting that some shipments have already occurred. The Financial Times reported that two tankers redirected to Brazil and Algeria, while another continues to the US with an uncertain destination. The agreement, valid until April 2027, allows for significant monthly diesel shipments to the US, aimed at reducing fuel prices amid inflation concerns.
