Russian diesel heads to US after Putin-Trump deal, data shows

A Malta-flagged ‌tanker carrying 40,000 metric tons of Russian diesel is heading towards New York following an agreement with US President Donald Trump, LSEG data showed on Friday.

The medium-sized tanker Agioi Fanendes was loaded ​with 40,000 metric tons of ultra-low sulphur diesel in the Russian Baltic port of Primorsk on October 22, according to shipping data. It is expected to arrive in the United ​States on November 7.
Russia agreed to lift a self-imposed ban on diesel ​exports and supply the fuel to global markets, including the US, after the agreement reached between Russian President Vladimir ‌Putin ⁠and Trump.
Trump announced on October 9 that Russia would immediately export 300,000 metric tons, or 2.25 million barrels, followed by 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons "immediately thereafter".
