Seven tankers with 288k tonnes Russian diesel sail to US under Trump-Putin deal

Seven tankers carrying 288,000 tonnes of Russian diesel are en route to the US, marking the first phase of a Trump-Putin supply deal that reverses years of sanctions on Russian oil. Greenpeace tracked the vessels, but unloading remains uncertain amid a political and legal row over the shipments' legality. This signals a major policy shift in US-Russia energy relations, with potential market implications for diesel supply and sanctions enforcement.

The US has permitted the import of Russian diesel, with at least one tanker confirmed to have sailed to the US and seven more en route, under a temporary sanctions suspension framed as an incentive for Russia to end the war in Ukraine. This policy shift, reportedly part of a Trump-Putin deal, faces significant domestic political and legal challenges, with a US Senator warning shipowners of legal consequences. The full scope and legal basis of the agreement remain unclear, as does the long-term impact on sanctions enforcement.
