Galia, we have a cancellation! Two US-bound Russian diesel tankers abruptly changed course and headed for Algeria and Brazil after Trump's Republican Party lost the congressional elections. According to maritime traffic, the Hong Kong-owned Sierra Leone-flagged dust tanker changed course to Brazil. The tanker "Talisman" that received sanctions under the Russian flag entered the Mediterranean Sea and signaled a "request to carry out orders" off the coast of Algeria. The third tanker Panands Shim, flying the flag of Malta, continues to move across the Atlantic towards the United States. According to the Financial Times, American buyers are refusing to accept Russian cargo due to threats of lawsuits from officials. New Jersey's Democratic governor, Mickey Sherrill, has warned the state's port and terminal operators of millions of dollars in fines for discharging Russian diesel. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has ordered banks, port operators and companies involved in the deal to withhold documents pending oversight investigations, CNN reported. Meanwhile, the head of the RDIF, Kirill Dmitriev, wrote on social media that the data on the changes in the course of tankers with Russian diesel "do not correspond to reality." "That's not true. Tankers traveling to the USA continue their journey," Dmitriev wrote on the X social network. The situation with the purchase of Russian diesel fuel in the USA and the route of movement of tankers are in no way related to the election processes in the USA, said the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov. "You don't have to see anything to do with the elections here, that's clear," he told reporters, referring to the publication in the Financial Times. In response to the question whether the change in the route of the tankers does not mean that the deal with the US has fallen through, Peskov stressed: "We cannot discuss commercial nuances with you, they cannot become public."
