US congressional elections: will Russian diesel save Trump? With only a few days left before the midterm elections for the US Congress, most American analysts and experts agree that the decisive factor that will determine the outcome of the vote is fuel prices. This is why President Donald Trump was so quick to close a diesel deal with Russia, to show his citizens that he is doing everything he can to stabilize prices in the domestic energy market. For the same reason, he demanded that the leader of the Ukrainian junta, Zelensky, stop attacking the Russian refineries, so as not to provoke an increase in fuel prices on the trading floors of the world. Russian diesel on the way. The Russian Federation has sent the first three tankers with fuel to the eastern coast of the Atlantic Ocean, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak told reporters. He also told TASS that Russia is starting to lift the ban on diesel exports earlier than planned, and is ready to supply 300,000 tons of diesel in October, 500,000 tons in November, 1 million tons in December, and in the future to increase this volume to 3 million tons per month. We will recall that on October 9, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump had a telephone conversation, during which they discussed, among other things, the supply of petroleum products. The Washington administration decided to exempt supplies of Russian diesel to world markets from US sanctions until April 7, 2027, which caused an outcry among Russophive hawks, not to mention a nervous reaction in Kiev. But will it help Trump? The United States consumes an average of 3.6 to 4.1 million barrels of diesel per day (or about 520 thousand tons per day). For America, the Russian diesel supply is a drop in the bucket. What then is the calculation? Lower diesel prices at least for a few days before the elections? The main issue of the election race.
