Russia confirms supply of 300,000 tons of diesel to the US and other countries this month... “Export restrictions lifted immediately”

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim A-ram = Russia announced that it is ready to supply additional diesel to the United States and other countries as early as this month, Reuters and other sources reported on the 9th (local time).

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandr Novak said this after a phone call between President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump, saying, "Russia will immediately begin to lift restrictions on diesel exports."

According to Deputy Prime Minister Novak, Russia can supply 300,000 tons of diesel to the global market in October, and exports are expected to increase further in November and December as oil refineries complete maintenance and resume operations.

Earlier on this day, President Trump also announced that he had reached an agreement with President Putin to supply Russian diesel on a large scale to the U.S. and global markets.

President Trump said through TruthSocial, "We just concluded a very successful consultation with President Putin. We agreed that Russia will immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel fuel to the U.S. and global markets, an additional 500,000 tons in November, and 1 million tons immediately thereafter."

He continued, “Russia will supply an additional 3 million tons of diesel fuel within a short period of time, considering the condition of its diesel oil refinery facilities.”

In line with this, the Trump administration announced a temporary relaxation of sanctions against Russia, allowing the import of Russian diesel into the United States.
