Russian diesel shipments intended for the US under a reported Trump-Putin agreement are diverting course due to US sanctions compliance concerns and direct opposition from New Jersey state authorities. This development is compounded by renewed Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, which are straining Russia's domestic diesel supply while it attempts to meet export commitments. The operational viability of the US-Russia fuel deal is significantly challenged.
