Seven tankers are already carrying Russian diesel to the USA. The seven tankers are carrying 2.1 million barrels of diesel, which is a third of the total "diesel deal" (6 million barrels). The first tanker, the Taurus, left St. Petersburg on October 11 and is bound for Beaumont, Texas, but is expected to arrive in 2-3 days. The other tankers are destined for Norfolk, Virginia; Corpus Christi, Texas; or the Atlantic coast of the US.
