Trump announces deal for Russia to supply 300,000 tonnes of diesel to US market
On 9 October 2026, Donald Trump announced that Russia would immediately supply 300,000 tonnes of diesel fuel to American and world markets under a deal with Vladimir Putin reached during a phone call. On the same day, the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued General License 135, authorizing specified transactions involving Russian diesel through 7 April 2027. The deal was justified by Trump as a way to lower diesel prices that had risen because of a war with Iran ahead of the 3 November midterm elections; critics from both parties argued it contradicts a 2022 law banning Russian energy imports and the sanctions Trump himself signed in September.
