Trump says Russia to immediately supply 300,000 tons of diesel fuel - Reuters

Former President Donald Trump announced that Russia has agreed to supply diesel fuel to the United States and the broader global market. The announcement was made following a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump stated that Russia would immediately deliver 300,000 tons of diesel fuel. He described the shipment as a rapid response to current market needs.

In addition to the 300,000‑ton figure, Trump claimed that Russia would provide “nearly five million US tons of diesel” to both the American and global marketplaces. This larger quantity differs from the 300,000‑ton amount mentioned earlier.

The statements were presented by Trump without accompanying details on delivery timelines, pricing, or contractual arrangements. No official confirmation from Russian authorities or independent verification of the proposed volumes has been released.

As a result, the reported figures remain uncorroborated, and the exact scale of any diesel supply agreement between Russia and the United States has not been independently confirmed.
