New Jersey Governor Mickey Sherrill has warned local port operators not to accept tankers carrying Russian diesel, Reuters reports. The imports violate the 2022 federal law and expose the companies to civil and criminal liability, she said. The statement came after US President Donald Trump's decision to allow the supply of more than 300,000 tons (about 2.25 million barrels) of Russian diesel to the American market due to shortages and a record increase in fuel prices that reached $6.28 per gallon.
