USA: Trump verkündet Diesel-Deal mit Kreml-Chef Putin
Laut Angaben des US-Präsidenten soll Russland „unverzüglich über 300.000 Tonnen Dieselkraftstoff auf den amerikanischen und den weltweiten Markt bringen“.
Washington – US President Donald Trump has announced a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to supply diesel fuel to the United States and globally. This comes from a post by Trump on his Truth Social platform late Friday. "I just had an extremely successful conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which it was agreed that Russia will immediately deliver over 300,000 tons of diesel fuel to the American and global markets," the post reads.
An additional 500,000 tons would follow in November, and a million tons immediately thereafter. Trump promised that diesel prices for Americans and the world would "sink to record lows" as a result. At the same time, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), which oversees the enforcement of economic and trade sanctions, published a document stating that all sanctions applying to diesel fuel from Russia are suspended until April 2027.
The signature stamp on the document shows it was signed by the bureau's director only minutes before Trump's post. The conditions under which the fuel would be supplied remained unclear.
