American companies refuse to buy Russian diesel despite calls from the administration of US President Donald Trump, the Washington Sun reports, citing sources. Businesses do not want to take risks. According to sources, commercial owners of Russian cargo have been trying to find buyers for several weeks, but American companies have yet to show interest. Several sources confirmed that at the time the fuel was loaded onto the tankers, there were no guaranteed buyers. The tankers are likely bound for American ports, but some analysts predict the ships may change their final destination to Brazil. Since the US imposed sanctions on Russia in 2022, Brazil has been purchasing significant amounts of Russian diesel. On October 9, Donald Trump announced that he had agreed with Putin on the supply of Russian diesel fuel to the American and global markets. On October 22, the first tanker with 40,000 tons of Russian diesel left for New York. It is scheduled to arrive in the US on November 7th.
