Trump's deal with Putin did not help lower diesel prices in the US. WSJ The agreement between US President Donald Trump and Putin on the supply of Russian diesel had almost no effect on the American fuel market. Despite the announced supply, diesel fuel in the United States has risen in price. A gallon of diesel now costs $6.35, up 7 cents, the Wall Street Journal reports. Back on October 9, Trump announced that the Russian Federation had agreed to supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel fuel to the American and global markets. In addition, he announced shipments of another 500,000 tons in November and one million tons "immediately thereafter." Last week, a tanker carrying about 300,000 barrels of Russian diesel left Primorsk, according to ship tracking company Kepler. The ship initially said it was bound for New York, but later changed its destination to "on orders," indicating no confirmed port of final discharge. Analysts are still skeptical that the deal will significantly reduce the high diesel prices in the world and in the US. According to them, Russia will probably not be able to export the promised amount of diesel fuel due to the poor condition of its refineries and export restrictions. At the same time, it became known earlier that in the second half of October, Russian refineries increased their refining volumes to about 5 million barrels per day - this is 25% more than at the beginning of the month. This happened against the background of the cessation of Ukrainian UAV attacks on Russian oil plants. Earlier, Trump declared an "energy truce" between Moscow and Kiev after the United States and Russia agreed on the supply of Russian diesel. The latest attacks on oil refineries in Ryazan and Surgut took place on October 16. Earlier it was reported that Zelensky could offer the United States a month's pause in attacks on Russian refineries in exchange for Patriot missiles.
