President Trump says Russia will supply millions of tons of diesel to the U.S. and global markets after a call with Vladimir Putin on Friday.![]()
![]()
According to his Truth Social post, Russia will immediately supply more than 300,000 tons, then 500,000 tons in November, 1 million tons after that, and eventually 3 million tons. The president said diesel prices will come down "in record numbers, and fast." Moscow has not confirmed the deal.![]()

The announcement raises several questions. Russia's largest oil companies are under U.S. sanctions, and the Kremlin said last month those sanctions would need to be lifted before Russian diesel could flow to world markets in large amounts. If the administration eases them, critics say it would send new revenue to Moscow while its war in Ukraine continues and weaken the pressure the U.S. has been building on Russia's oil industry.![]()

It could also put the U.S. at odds with allies. The European Union bans imports of Russian refined fuel, and Ukraine has been striking Russian refineries specifically to cut off that revenue.![]()

Supporters point to diesel prices that hit a record $6.23 a gallon last month, driving up costs for truckers, farmers and consumers. The White House has not said whether sanctions relief is part of the agreement.![]()
