Trump helped Russia double its diesel exports, although the Americans themselves have still received nothing. Financial Times.
In October, Russia exported 271,000 barrels of diesel per day, which is twice as much as in September (then the figure was 135,000 barrels per day), reports the "Financial Times", citing data from the analytics company Kepler.
The increase in exports came after the Donald Trump administration demanded that Ukraine stop attacks on Russian refineries. In addition, at the beginning of October, Trump concluded a "diesel deal" with Vladimir Putin, following which the US Treasury Department temporarily eased the sanctions against Russian diesel.
Russia, as part of an agreement with the White House, sent four diesel tankers to the United States. None of them have yet reached American shores. At the same time, the volume of its exports to Brazil, Turkey and other countries increased greatly, FT notes.

Trump claimed that the agreement with Putin would lower gas prices in the United States. However, analysts and experts have suggested that this is unlikely to happen.
