Trump Says He Just Agreed with Putin to Immediately Release 300,000 Tons of Russian Diesel to Market

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on the 9th (local time) that he has agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin to supply a large scale of Russian diesel to the U.S. and global markets.

Writing on Truth Social, President Trump stated, "I just had a very successful discussion with President Putin," adding, "We agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 tons of diesel fuel to the U.S. and global markets, an additional 500,000 tons in November, and 1 million tons shortly thereafter."

He continued, "Russia will then supply an additional 3 million tons of diesel fuel in the short term, taking into account the situation at its domestic diesel refining facilities."

He also claimed that global diesel prices will drop rapidly due to U.S. control of the Strait of Hormuz and the supply of Russian energy.
