  "account": "Eight Russian diesel tankers, each carrying approximately 300,000 tons of fuel, are making their way to American ports, according to Ukrainian government sources. The ships, four of which are under sanctions, are expected to arrive between November 7 and 18. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has warned port and terminal operators that accepting the fuel could violate federal law and expose them to legal repercussions, despite President Donald Trump's agreement with Russian leader Vladimir Putin for a three-month supply of diesel fuel. The diesel deal is perceived by critics as economically imprudent, as the US is a diesel exporter, and the imports would not lower fuel prices for American consumers while providing revenue to Moscow. However, the White House defends the deal as a means to increase supply and decrease fuel costs for Americans.",
