  "account": "Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak announced on Friday that three tankers of Russian diesel are en route to North America. According to Novak, the shipments are part of an agreement to supply both U.S. and global markets. The first three tankers are already on their way to the eastern coast of the Atlantic Ocean, with support from the RDIF, a Russian direct investment fund. Novak stated that Russian companies could supply 500,000 metric tons of diesel in October. As part of a deal announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, Russia agreed to deliver diesel to global markets in order to reduce fuel prices. The administration temporarily lifted U.S. sanctions on Russian fuel, which were intended to limit Moscow's revenues from its war in Ukraine. The deal provided for 300,000 metric tons of diesel in October and additional shipments in the future.",
