Trump said he reached a deal with Putin during a phone call for Russia to supply more than 300,000 metric tons of diesel to US and global markets as soon as possible, followed by 500,000 tons and 1 million tons. Moscow could provide another 3 million tons soon if refinery conditions permit. The US Treasury issued a temporary license allowing Russian diesel sales worldwide through April 7, 2027. Russian fuel exports remain subject to sanctions and domestic export bans.

US President Donald Trump said he agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin to release Russian diesel to global markets to help lower prices. Trump said Russia would initially supply more than 300,000 tons, with further deliveries to follow. The move reverses years of US pressure on Moscow over the war in Ukraine and seeks to address rising fuel costs ahead of US midterm elections.
