> A Malta-flagged tanker carrying 40,000 metric tons of Russian diesel is sailing to New York and is expected to arrive early next month, Reuters reported, citing LSEG data. The shipment is the first under Donald Trump’s announced deal to buy Russian diesel. Kyiv, its European allies and US lawmakers have condemned the agreement, arguing it will do little to ease costs for US consumers while helping finance Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
