Russia would supply 300,000 tons immediately, followed by 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons afterward, Trump said Friday.
President Donald Trump announced a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to add Russian diesel to global markets, a move aimed at increasing fuel supply as refining capacity remains tight.
Trump said Friday that Russia would immediately supply 300,000 tons of diesel. The agreement calls for another 500,000 tons in November, followed by 1 million tons afterward.
The proposed deliveries come as fuel prices have risen amid a shortage of refining capacity. The additional Russian supply could affect diesel availability across international markets, including the United States.
