  "account": "Several tankers carrying hundreds of thousands of liters of Russian diesel, which were previously en route to the United States, have apparently altered their plans. At least three of the four known vessels are no longer on course for the U.S. Atlantic coast, according to satellite tracking data. This raises concerns that the diesel deal between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russia could fizzle out. Several ships set out from Russia's Baltic Sea coast towards the Atlantic at the end of October. At least four freighters were identified and tracked by observers using several location services. Three of the four ships are on several sanction lists: \"Talisman\" (Russian flag): sanctioned by the U.S., the EU, the U.K., Canada, and Switzerland; \"Beast\" (Seychelles): sanctioned by the EU, the U.K., Australia, Canada, and Switzerland; \"Leruo\" (Sierra Leone): sanctioned by the EU, the U.K., Canada, and Switzerland; \"Agioi Fanendes\" (Malta): not sanctioned. Only the \"Agioi Fanendes\" is still on course for the U.S. However, it transmits \"For Orders\" via its transponder instead of specifying a specific port of destination, which may indicate that the vessel is waiting for a new buyer for the diesel on board. However, the crew manually inputs these reports, so they may not be reliable.",
