Russian diesel tanker heads to the U.S., the first since Trump’s deal with Putin

A tanker loaded with diesel fuel set sail Friday from Russia for the United States, the first shipment since President Donald Trump agreed a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to release more fuel into the global market.
Trump eased some sanctions on the Kremlin two weeks ago and has since waived more , reversing years of American policy despite Moscow’s ongoing illegal invasion of Ukraine in an apparent bid to lower prices ahead of the Midterm elections.
