> Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said the country would send 40,000 tonnes of diesel to an undisclosed US port on Thursday, with further shipments planned under an agreement between the leaders. US envoy Steve Witkoff said several tanker deliveries were being prepared. The move comes as US diesel prices remain high, though they have eased from a month earlier.
