  "summary": "New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has issued a warning to port and terminal operators against purchasing or unloading Russian diesel fuel currently bound for the east coast of the United States. The state's move is intended to complicate President Trump's efforts to bring Russian diesel into US markets in order to address high industrial fuel prices caused by a global refining squeeze and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Sherrill emphasized that Russia has dispatched multiple diesel tankers to the United States, and her state will use legal and regulatory powers to prevent any shipments from entering through New Jersey. The Russian Oil Act does not grant the President or Treasury Department blanket authority to waive sanctions through licenses, Sherrill added.",
