US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended an agreement with Russia to supply nearly five million tonnes of diesel fuel to global markets. The deal, reached following discussions between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, is expected to benefit Americans and the global energy markets. Bessent stated that the administration would utilize all legal powers to implement the agreement.
A temporary license was issued by the US on Friday to permit the purchase of Russian diesel until April 7, 2027. Trump announced the proposed supply schedule, which includes an initial shipment of over 300,000 tonnes, followed by additional deliveries in November and immediately thereafter, totaling up to 3,000,000 tonnes. Russia had eased its diesel export ban in response to the agreement, allowing the country to resume supplies to the US and other international markets while fulfilling domestic fuel requirements.
