The United States: Russian diesel shipments at a dead end Donald Vladimir's deal to import Russian diesel to the United States is running into difficulties, the Financial Times reports. Two tankers initially expected to the US coast have changed destination, while buyers are hesitant to accept these cargoes due to sanctions. This initiative, designed to reduce gas prices before the midterm elections, is facing opposition from some American elected officials. At the same time, American diesel reserves fell below 100 million barrels, a level not seen for more than twenty years. The wars in Iran and Ukraine have reduced global refining capacity, leading to a more than 60% rise in futures prices since the conflict with Tehran began. At the pump, a gallon now costs $6.27, a level close to the record reached in September. RT in French dare to ask.
